What makes LiteShell™ / ProShell™ different from traditional waterproof laminates?
Standard nonwoven breathable fabrics often struggle to balance weight and durability. Kae Hwa Industrial solves this through engineered multi-layer lamination, providing targeted solutions for diverse outdoor demands.

Why we outperform “Standard” fabrics?
Traditional breathable fabrics often rely on simple coatings that peel over time. Our solvent-free in-line lamination process creates a permanent bond between the membrane and the substrate, ensuring that your garment maintains its waterproof and breathable integrity after dozens of washes and extreme high-altitude UV exposure.
