Sliding through repellence

Technology | 29 October 2010 | par : audrey
This is a treatment applied to fabrics: hydrophobic (“don’t like” water) molecules are applied parallel to the fabric, and the result is that water slides off the fabric without soaking in.
Over time, friction and the volumes of water build up, making the molecules sag. This reduces the water repellent effect. But there are 3 easy ways to reactivate the water repellence.
1- Iron parts of the garment affected (cool iron).
2- Tumble-dry the garment on the synthetics/cool programme.
3- Apply NOVADRY® waterproofing spray.
Three easy ways to refresh your gear!

Product news | 5 February 2010 | par : audrey
Synthetics aren’t the only fabrics to offer waterproofing. Tribord, working in partnership with NOVADRY®, shows as much with this stylish pea coat.
The 62% cotton and 38% polyamide outer fabric is soft to touch and offers good waterproofing and excellent breathability. The water repellence and taped seams will keep you dry in the sea mist. A hood and zip flap offer effective protection from bad weather.
Fleece-lined, this jacket will keep you warm on winter sailing excursions, or for trips into town.
Sail on with style!
