Moisture is transported quickly in this fibre to the outside. Schoeller® Dynatec® ® Schoeller® Dynatec®is a protective fabric specially Neopren ® developed for motorcycle clothing. It is tear-and Neopren is an elastic, flat material made of foamed, abrasion-resistant, durable and easy care. It is synthetic rubber based on chloroprene. In the material, abrasion proof with good thermal properties. The many small gas bubbles are distributed, so it has excellent melting point is 290° C. Dynatec ® is made of thermal insulation properties. Cordura ® and Dynafil TS 70. The material complies Clarino with the environmental label Oeko-Tex Standard 100. Clarino is deceptively similar to suede, but is made of ® ® synthetic fibers (60% Nylon and 40% ). Clarino is Schoeller Keprotec ® ® abarasion resistant, durable and washable. Schoeller Keprotec was developed more than 15 years ago for motorcycle racing. It is a highly technical Elastan fabric that is extremely abrasion and tear resistant. It or elastane is a highly elastic synthetic fibre. It is has a similar level of protection as leather, but offers similar to rubber, but has a higher strength and durability. greater comfort. The fabric is made of Cordura ®, Spandex is a block copolymer of polyurethane and Dynafil TS 70, Kevlar ® and polyurethane.

Climate membranes are available from various manufacturers. In Europe the best BÜSE Production staff: known membranes are Gore-Tex ® and Sympatex ®. Other used membranes are René Meures (Ltg.) from Reissa ®, Ex-Tex ™, ® and Porelle Hipora ® . Matthias Klein (stellv. Ltg.) Delon Stojanovic (Assistenz) The basic functions of climate control in all membranes are identical or similar. They Karsten Merz (Bekleidung) keep rain and wind out and allow water vapor to escape. This gives the clothing Uwe Hoenig (Assistenz Bekleidung) excellent weather protection and comfort features. Harald Sodi (Bekleidung Scott, Technik) Membranes can be processed in different ways. They can be processed as a Sascha Schnitter (Helme, Technik) laminate or as a Z-liner. A laminate is the direct and extensive connection of two materials, eg the outer fabric and membrane. The Z-liner construction is the FABRIC GLOSSARY membrane fitted loose to the garment, so to speak as a “jacket in the jacket”. Both Fashion Photography: versions support the processing function of climate membranes. Christian Charlier, Eupen, Although effective at climate control and weather protection, the membranes are www.xact-photography.com susceptable to mechanical and chemical damage.

Abrasion Test Ŷ Performance Those who want to achieve something, must work for it. Sweating is the bodies means of temperature control. If the body overheats performance drops. The Sympatex ® membrane comes to the rescue and transports moisture away from the body, it generates an optimal comfort zone for optimum performance. Ŷ Breathability The membrane technology provides unique breathability. It works on a physical chemical principle: the hydrophilic components of the membrane absorb moisture and Tear Test release it by evaporation from the outside. The effect increases with temperature and humidity differences between the membrane sides. The greater the difference between inside and outside, the more moisture is passed through the membrane. The effectiveness of the membrane is demanddriven. Ŷ 100% waterproof and windproof The Sympatex ® membrane exceeds the requirements of DIN Standard. It can withstand up to 25 metres of water pressure. Thus continuous rain presents no problem, even after washing it remains 100% waterproof. Rain Test The SympaTex®Membrane is totaly windproof, thus reducing the wind chill effect. A gust of 15mph at an ambient temperature of +5 ° C reduces the perceived temperature to 6 ° C. A corresponding reduction in performance is the result. Ŷ Guaranteed and tested ecologically The SympaTex®Membrane is made of polyetherester, recyclable and harmless to the environment and skin. It is composed of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen and there fore is 100% free of toxic residues and environmentally degradable. The mem brane complies with the OekoTex 100 and is certified by bluesign ® standards. Pressure Test Quality is a priority for SympaTex ®. All products with SympaTex ® are manufactured only by licensed partners. In the laboratory, the Sympatex ® products are carefully tested for processing, waterand windresistance and breathability and durability. All seams are sealed with the original Sympatex ® Tape.
