Controlled Air Permeability

Controlled Air Permeability

Powershield® and Windbloc ACT® - two Polartec laminate offerings where Dartex Coatings engineer in controlled air permeability, for use especially in active pastimes, such as skiing, climbing or hiking.

  • Controlled Air Permeability
    Through our patented process a controlled amount of air is allowed to pass through the fabric and garment at low rates (usually 5-10cfm), to dissipate heat and perspiration, whilst keeping you still warm.
  • Stretch and recovery
    An active body fit, even for extreme situations, to ease motion and promote comfort. Essential to an active outdoors enthusiast.
  • Keeps you Dry
    Although not 100% waterproof in lab conditions, actually in wear, the adhesive membrane and durable water repellent finish of Powershield® combine with your body heat to keep you dry in active use.
  • Abrasion Resistance
    The stretch woven outer face of Powershield ® is highly abrasion resistant, preventing snagging and enhancing the fabrics’ durability.
  • Soft Shell
    It may be an over-used term, but the Powershield® laminated at Dartex Coatings genuinely meets all the criteria – who needs a hard, rigid outer layer now?
