SYMPATEX®
OPTIMIZED COMFORT, WHATEVER THE WEATHER
WATERPROOF, BREATHABLE, WINDPROOF
Nothing is more unpleasant than cold, wet clothes. That is why Sympatex has developed a special membrane that absorbs water vapor and directs it outward through the clothing, keeping the body warm and dry even in extreme weather conditions. But the best part is this: the higher the physical activity, the more efficient the Sympatex membrane works. ITM also produces functional fabrics with Sympatex membranes that serve as effective protection against cold and moisture.
