GCX 3 BREATHABLE

BREATHABLE.WATERPROOF.WINDPROOF

OUR MOST DURABLE, WATERPROOF AND BREATHABLE FABRIC.

Tested in extreme conditions this technology has proven to protect the wearer whilst actively participating in extreme sailing. GCX3 is a three-layer system consisting of a woven nylon outer shell fabric giving protection and durability. The mid layer is a microporous membrane which eliminates water penetration whilst allowing water vapour to escape. The inner layer is a polyester tricot, which protects the breathable membrane against abrasion whilst providing the wearer additional comfort. GCX3 three layer fabrics are available in different weights to suit different applications.

    DWR+

DWR+ is a durable hydrophobic coating that causes water to bead and run off fabrics. When coated to the outer layer of fabrics it substantially reduces the natural water absorption of the garment whilst making it easier to clean.

     
  Flatlock Stitch

Wetsuit neoprene is lapped together and then stitched, this creates a flat, flexible and comfortable seam. Flatlock stitching can be identified by a band of interlocked thread on both sides of the wetsuit, sometimes utilising a coloured thread for visual effect.
