Gelanots XP3L
This is a three-layer laminate, where the following layers are bonded through lamination: the outer fabric, Gelanots XP membrane, and the membrane’s inner protection. The resulting material is intended for garments designed for extreme conditions,…
HDPE
High-density polyethylene (HDPE). It is temperature resistant from -50°C to 110°C, chemically resistant, odorless, suitable for direct contact with food, non-toxic, and, importantly, recyclable. HDPE is widely used for producing water pipes, gas…
Hicor
The polyurethane coating on the fabric's inner side guarantees the waterproofness of this material across its surface.
IXPE
IXPE foam is produced using high-energy cross-linking polyethylene technology. The result is a tough, durable foam material with long life, high thermal resistance, and a smooth, non-absorbent surface.
Nexus a Duraflex
Nexus (Sweden) and Duraflex (Italy) Branded plastic buckles with a lifetime warranty from major global manufacturers (Nexus - Sweden, Duraflex - Italy). Guaranteed quality and reliable performance.
Nifco
Nifco is a global supplier of functional plastic components for an extensive network of automotive product manufacturers. Nifco was founded in 1967 in Tokyo and has expanded to 17 countries with over 35 production plants and 4 research and…
No Wind
Laminated fabric produced by the Italian company Pontetorto. It combines an upper microfleece layer, a membrane, and a lower perforated protective layer. The result is a 100% windproof, highly breathable, soft, and user-comfortable material.
Nylon 6
Nylon 6 (Polyamide 6) is the European variant of Nylon 6.6, developed to bypass the US patent on Nylon 6.6. Nylon 6 fibers are stiff, have high tensile strength, as well as elasticity and gloss. They are resistant to abrasion and some chemicals, such…
Nylon 6.6
Nylon 6.6 (Polyamide 6.6) is used wherever very high mechanical strength, elasticity, rigidity, good heat stability, and chemical resistance are required. It is used in fibers for durable technical textiles, heavy-duty carpets, and molded parts…
Nylon 6.6 Stretch
This is a flexible, highly durable fabric made from specially treated nylon fibers, used in particularly stressed parts of clothing. Its elastic properties allow for increased range of motion, and the material’s high abrasion resistance (comparable…
Nylon Featherlite RipStop DWR
Very lightweight and durable nylon fabric with RipStop weave and DWR water-repellent treatment. Nylon Featherlite RipStop DWR is a densely woven, very lightweight, and breathable nylon fabric with tear-resistant and water-repellent properties.…
Nylon Wicking
This is a very comfortable, breathable fabric made from 100% nylon fibers, produced using special technology and treated for a "wicking" effect. This gives it a look and feel similar to natural fibers. The resulting fabric is soft, drapes well, and…
Polartec classic 200
Lightweight and very warm fleece, brushed on both sides, with antibacterial and excellent insulating properties. The water-resistant finish with DWR coating withstands light rain or snow. Polartec Classic 200 is a quick-drying and highly durable…
Polartec classis Micro
This fleece material is designed for mid-layer insulating garments and is also highly breathable, allowing quick moisture transfer to the outer layers of clothing.
Polyester
Lightweight and durable polyester fabric used in tent canopies, with high UV resistance. It doesn’t age and retains its properties even after prolonged exposure to sunlight and high temperatures.
Polyester DWR
Outer material with water-repellent treatment. Thanks to the DWR treatment, the fabric is highly non-absorbent and water-repellent, causing droplets to bead and roll off, making it resistant to light drizzle or morning dew.
Polyester Softlite
Brushed polyester pleasant to the touch. Thanks to the SoftLite treatment, this fabric is very pleasant to the touch, almost giving the impression of cotton. However, unlike cotton, it dries much faster, lasts longer, and is significantly lighter.
Polyester stretch
Slightly stretchable polyester fabric with PU coating. Lightweight and durable polyester material with high UV resistance that doesn’t age and retains its properties even after prolonged exposure to sunlight and high temperatures.
PU zátěr
Polyurethane coating is a thin waterproof polyurethane layer applied multiple times on the inner side of the tent canopy. Depending on the number of coating layers, the canopy’s water resistance varies. For our tents, we apply the maximum technically…
Reflexní
Aluminum layer reflecting heat The reflective aluminum layer on the upper side reflects body heat, contributing to increased thermal comfort.
Ripstop
This is a fabric manufacturing technology used in the rainflies of Extreme series tents and inner tents of Extreme and Hiking series, designed to increase resistance to mechanical damage while reducing weight. At regular intervals, thicker threads…
SCC
SCC - Single Chamber Construction - an ultralight inflatable sleeping pad design with a single chamber, engineered for minimal weight and maximum packability.
SHC
The simple construction of wide horizontal chambers combines maximum foam reduction with high thermal resistance achieved by preventing air circulation within the mattress. When inflated, the wide chambers shape into cylinders, significantly…
Silikonizace
A silicone coating is applied to the tent's outer shell to achieve a highly effective and long-lasting water-repellent effect. In this technological process, the fibers of the rainfly fabric are impregnated with silicone, making the fabric extremely…
Sklolaminát
Fiberglass poles are made using new technology that results in lighter segments while increasing resistance to cracking.
