Tyvek is also low-linting, smooth and opaque. |
| Windstopper |
| | Windstopper™ outerwear combines durable wind protection and high breathability in garments that keep you warm and comfortable with fewer layers and less bulk. When the wind rips through your clothes, it disrupts your body's microclimate — the thin layer of air next to your skin. The cold wind pulls the warm air away and you feel cold. Windstopper fabric protects you from this windchill effect by blocking the wind. The pores in the Windstopper membrane are too small for the wind to pass through. Because the wind can't pierce through your clothing, your body remains warm and safeguarded. |
