DexShell Technology.
Engineered to Perform.

DexShell integrated waterproof systems combine functional construction, selected materials and proprietary technologies for reliable protection in wet and demanding conditions.

BUILT AS ONE SYSTEM

Waterproof Performance Is More Than a Membrane

A waterproof membrane is essential, but it cannot deliver reliable performance on its own. Construction, stretch, material compatibility, moisture management and product design must work together.

DexShell engineers these elements as one integrated system, balancing waterproof protection, movement, durability and comfort in real-world outdoor use.

ENGINEERED LAYER BY LAYER

How the System Works in Motion

DexShell products use an integrated multi-layer construction that combines a durable outer layer, a moisture-permeable waterproof membrane, and a performance inner lining. Each layer is engineered to perform its own function while working together as one integrated system.

Outer Layer

Protection and durability

The outer layer provides abrasion resistance, durability and structural support while helping protect the waterproof membrane from external wear and environmental exposure.

Waterproof Membrane

Waterproof protection and breathable comfort

The waterproof membrane blocks external water while allowing internal moisture vapour to escape, helping maintain comfort during extended activity.

Inner Layer

Comfort and moisture management

The inner layer provides next-to-skin comfort, manages moisture and helps regulate temperature across different activities and conditions.

4-Way Stretch Integrated System

Designed to move

Unlike traditional rigid waterproof constructions, DexShell integrates stretch technologies that allow the waterproof system to flex with movement while maintaining protection.

DexShell 4-Way Stretch Technology improves flexibility, fit and movement without compromising waterproof integrity.

Three Proprietary Technologies Behind DexShell.

A patented stretch-lamination system that bonds the waterproof membrane with performance fabrics while preserving flexibility and elasticity.

DEXTRETCH™ 4-Way Stretch Lamination

A patented stretch-lamination system that bonds the waterproof membrane with performance fabrics while preserving flexibility and elasticity.

A cuff-seal construction engineered to reduce water ingress at the top opening – a critical vulnerability in waterproof systems.

DEXLOK® Cuff Seal System

A cuff-seal construction engineered to reduce water ingress at the top opening – a critical vulnerability in waterproof wear systems.

A bonded composite structure that fuses outer fabric, membrane, and lining into one unified layer.

DEXFUZE® Bonded Glove Technology

A bonded composite structure that fuses an outer shell, a waterproof membrane, and a performance lining into one unified fabric layer.

Selected Materials. Integrated for Performance.

DexShell selects specialised performance materials based on their role within the system. Each material is chosen to deliver a specific function – from waterproof protection and moisture management to warmth, durability and comfort – then engineered together into one integrated solution.

WATERPROOF PROTECTION

Porelle® Membrane

Porelle® membranes form the waterproof barrier inside DexShell products. They block external water while allowing moisture vapour to escape, helping maintain dry and comfortable performance in wet conditions.

NATURAL COMFORT & WARMTH

Merino Wool

Merino wool is selected for its softness, natural warmth and moisture-management properties. It helps regulate temperature and improve comfort in cold-weather waterproof socks and gloves.

RESPONSIBLE PERFORMANCE

Repreve® Recycled Yarns

REPREVE® recycled fibres support selected DexShell product developments where responsible material sourcing aligns with performance requirements. They contribute to durable, functional products with a more considered material approach.

No.1 recycled branded material

MOISTURE MANAGEMENT

Performance Yarns

Moisture-managing yarns help move moisture away from the skin to reduce damp discomfort during activity. COOLMAX® and SORBTEK® technologies support next-to-skin comfort and improve drying performance during extended outdoor use.
