The LSR AQUA REPELLENT REPROOFING SYSTEM for all outdoor activity garments is suitable for Gore-Tex®, Sympatex®, eVENT® and all other types of breathable waterproof jackets and trousers etc.
Above are two identical top-of-the-range breathable, high performance outdoor garments. But what's the difference...?
The one on the right has been treated with LSR's exclusive AQUA REPELLENT SYSTEM which INCREASES WATER REPELLANCY of a one year old breathable garment from 75 minutes to 15 HOURS, and simultaneously improves the breathability of the garment by 35%
The Evidence
LSR
commissioned a leading university's textile department to undertake tests on
a 12 month old breathable garment. These tests showed that after only 75mins
the outer fabric soaked up water, which then affects the garment's ability to
breathe, resulting in 'wetting out'. The diagram (right) shows how a wet and
soiled untreated outer fabric makes it impossible for the membrane to "breathe".
'Wetting out' is a term used when perspiration becomes trapped in the garment due to an unproofed outer face fabric letting in water - thus blocking the breathable membrane. This causes the wearer to feel cold, damp and uncomfortable.
LSR's
Aqua Repellent System was then applied and the garment re-tested. The tests
showed that the same garment stood up to 15 hours continuous heavy rain before
the outer fabric soaked up water! Breathability was also increased by 35%. The
diagram (left) shows how perspiration - shown by the main arrow - can easily
pass through the breathable membrane and proofed outer fabric.
The tests proved conclusively that the Aqua Repellant System WORKS!
The Aqua Repellent System is an exclusive and customised
service carried out under stringent standards, using the most technologically
advanced proofing materials.
