Drilite®:

The monolithic membrane offers protection from the elements and is only 15 micrometers thin at the same time. It allows to develop jackets that are light enough for runners, small enough for mountaineers and robust enough for mountaineers.
The latest generation of Drilite® consists of a hydrophilic, monolithic polyurethane membrane that is waterproof, breathable and robust.
Waterproof: Drilite® has a water column of 20.000mm. This is the standard for solid all-day weather protection.
Breathable: Drilite® with polyurethane membrane is highly breathable (20.000g/m²/24h) and comfortable, even during sweaty activities.
Durable: Drilite® material is permanently waterproof and windproof and at the same time light and stretchy.
The pore-free, highly breathable monolithic membrane actively transports water vapour through the molecular structure, at the same time forming an impenetrable barrier for water and dirt from the outside.

Material 100% polyamide
