Innovations – Sympatex Reflexion
SYMPATEX REFLEXION: A NEW DEFINITION OF THERMAL INSULATION
- Reflects up to 75% of the body’s own warmth thanks to the vaporised aluminium coating on the membrane
- Up to 3.6°C less heat loss
- Greater freedom of movement and better performance thanks to fewer insulation layers
- Clothing fits in every rucksack or suitcase
Greater freedom of movement; better thermal insulation: thanks to Sympatex Reflexion, thickly padded lining materials and heavy winter clothing are now a thing of the past. Aerospace technology makes it possible. Because Sympatex coats the membrane with an ultra-thin layer of aluminium, just a few nanometres thick. smooth surface of the membrane has tremendous heat-reflecting properties, reflecting up to 75% of the body's own warmth. This renders additional layers of insulation superfluous - and gives you more freedom of movement. This makes Sympatex Reflexion the perfect solution for increased wearer comfort.

USES
Ideal application for light jackets, footwear, accessories, active sports and protective workwear.
Sympatex reflexion is an excellent finish quality for all current Sympatex laminates - from WINDMASTER* to Sympatex, and on to PERFORMANCE and PROFESSIONAL.
*Not 100% waterproof, because it is not seam-sealed.
SYMPATEX REFLEXION GLOVE INSERTS: A NEW DEFINITION OF THERMAL INSULATION
Sympatex Reflexion is perfectly suited to the manufacture of glove inserts. This new manufacturing technique allows us to thermally fuse together two membrane layers of any desired shape or size - without having to use toxic glues. It is functional and ecological and therefore satisfies the highest demands.
- Improved thermal insulation thanks to metallised membrane
- Avoiding thick insulation layers allows lightweight designs and more freedom of movement
- Just as easy to process and as universally applicable as conventional Sympatex glove inserts
