The advantages of Sympatex
| 100% waterproof |  | Laminates withstand water column of up to 25 m. |
| 100 % windproof |  | EN ISO 9237 rating. |
| Optimal breathability |  | Rated ‘good' to ‘very good' in independent tests by the Hohenstein Institute. 57 billion ‘water-loving' molecules per cm2 transfer moisture outwards. |
| Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and bluesign®-certified |  | Environmentally friendly production and waste disposal. |
| Proven quality |  | Guaranteed by innumerable tests. |
| Extreme mechanical durability |  | Abrasion resistance of up to 10,000 cycles (Martindale method) – thanks to high-quality workmanship and carefully selected materials. |
| Endurance-tested |  | All jacket prototypes undergo a 1- to 3-hour test in the rain chamber. Footwear is tested using a walking simulator in a water bath for 7 to 14 hours. |
| Guaranteed functionality |  | Long-lasting functionality is guaranteed. The membrane retains its functionality throughout the life of the clothing or footwear. |
| Compact membrane |  | Completely non-porous: so the membrane cannot be clogged by detergent residues or salt crystals. |
| Easy care |  | Clothing made with Sympatex is easy to clean, preferably with Sympatex care products; for footwear, creams and sprays with a high oil content should be avoided. |
| 300% stretch |  | Thanks to its non-porous structure, the membrane is extremely elastic, very thin (from 5 µm) and very light. |
