FUTURELIGHT™

About the technology


FUTURELIGHT™ is our best-in-class standard in breathable-waterproof technology.

Using nanospun polyurethane fibre structure, we have produced our most lightweight, comfortable and breathable membrane to date.

FUTURELIGHT™ allows air and vapour to permeate through the garment while maintaining waterproofness, improving temperature regulation and reducing overheating in changing weather conditions.
