GORE® C-KNIT BACKER TECHNOLOGY

Starting in Spring 2015, the Storm Cruiser Jacket utilizes the new C-Knit Backer technology from Gore-Tex. The waterproof breathable membrane has been laminated to an extremely thin knitted fabric. Compared to traditional the tricot used by Gore-Tex the knitted backer in the C-Knit technology yields a fabric that is 15% more breathable and 10% lighter. The most noticeable improvement is the feel of the fabric. The first time you wear the jacket you will be struck by the soft hand and slight stretch of the fabric, which eliminates of crinkling and rustling normally associate with rain wear.

AQUA-TECT Zipper

This water resistant zipper eliminates the need for storm flaps, reducing weight and making it easier to zip and unzip.

About the material: Ballistic nylon

Ballistic nylon is one and a half times more abrasion resistant than other similar weight fabrics and boasts three times the tear strength of nylons that are almost 20% heavier. Because of this, Ballistic nylons have allowed us to reduce the weight of many of our products by more than 50% without sacrificing the durability. We create Ballistic nylons by heating and stretching nylon fibers. Much like Tensiled steel, this process aligns the nylon molecules in each fiber, dramatically improving the strength and stamina of the fabric.

Samue Leg Closure System

Click to enlarge the image

This simple, yet ingenious system is inspired by the traditional work clothing worn by the Zen monks of Japan. Samue apparel is made with ties that can be used to adjust the length of the sleeves and pant legs. Instead of ties, we utilize an elastic band that has been integrated into the pant cuff. This clever addition provides a light weight way to close off the bottom of the pant leg or quickly create knickers.

Material Information (38-145)

Since this product is designed to be as lightweight and compact as possible, it is made using very lightweight materials. When the fabric is stressed, it is possible for the membrane to darken the appearance of the outer fabric. However, this has no effect on the membrane's waterproof performance.

Full zip pants

A clean, non-bunching silhouette and fully-opening sides, among other features, bring a wide range of functionality. *Fully opens at cuffs. *Opens from the bottom.
