ESKA® WINDSTOPPER®
FABRIC PERFORMANCE
- WINDPROOF :
Why is windproof protection so important? Consider this: With a wind speed of 20 mph, a temperature of 5°C will feel like -8°C - in just two minutes. Instead of being put toward your performance, all your energy will soon be focused on trying to keep your body warm.
Slam the door on windchill and protect the warm but highly sensitive microclimate that surrounds your skin. WINDSTOPPER® fabrics are 100% windproof and keep you up to 2.5 times warmer than comparable materials without the WINDSTOPPER® membrane.
- BREATHABLE :
Lower heartbeat. Lower exertion rate. Higher average speeds. These are just three performance-boosting reasons why you should opt for highly breathable fabrics.
Need more? How about this: During heavy exertion, our bodies can release over 4½ cups of perspiration in an hour, and up to 17 cups during a world-class marathon. Only the most breathable fabrics can handle this much sweat to prevent you from overheating and eventually becoming chilled.
WINDSTOPPER® products are two times more breathable than comparable windproof products, and offer the same level of breathability as comparable non-windproof products. What makes them so breathable? The 1.4 billion micro-pores in every square inch of the WINDSTOPPER® membrane let water vapour escape virtually unhindered, even when you’re working at maximum intensity.
