STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH PORELLE MEMBRANE

Since its inception, DexShell has been closely working with Porelle®. The Porelle® Sport membrane that DexShell selected to use is a type of hydrophilic membrane in solid microstructure which therefore is much more durable than the microporous type of membranes (in sponge structure). When laminated to a fabric, Porelle® Sport can achieve waterproofness levels in water column tests in excess of 10,000 mm. It will retain this performance after multiple wash cycles.

Porelle® Sport has a solid structure that physically stops water-droplets and wind passing through the garment. The membranes waterproofness does not however, impede its ability to control the microclimate within the garment and allows water which accumulates as sweat, to escape the garment leaving the user dry whilst retaining temperature control.

Using the Porelle® membrane as interlining layer, DexShell has created a wide array of waterproof breathable apparel accessories featuring comfort and protection.
