LiteShell™ uses advanced in-line hot lamination that is completely solvent-free. This not only makes the production more eco-friendly but also results in a softer, quieter fabric that lacks the “crinkly” plastic feel and smell often associated with cheaper laminates.
By integrating AquaVene™ or MicroBreath™ membranes, the fabric achieves a high moisture vapor transmission rate ($6,000–7,000 g/m^2 cdot 24hr$), allowing heat and sweat to escape while remaining 100% liquid-impermeable.
Absolutely. LiteShell™ is engineered for high compatibility with standard cut-and-sew operations as well as technical bonding and seam-taping, ensuring a fully waterproof finished garment.
By utilizing high-performance breathable films, LiteShell™ allows moisture vapor (sweat) to escape efficiently while blocking external water and wind. This regulates the wearer’s body temperature, making it ideal for packable hiking jackets and active sportswear.
We provide 2-layer (2L), 2.5-layer (2.5L), and 3-layer (3L) composites. This variety allows designers to choose the optimal weight and durability for everything from ultralight windbreakers to heavy-duty professional shell garments.
Yes. ProShell™ is manufactured using a solvent-free hot lamination process. We offer PFC-free (fluorine-free) DWR options and our materials meet GRS (Global Recycled Standard) and ISO 14064-1 carbon verification standards.
Absolutely. The ProShell™ system is designed with UV-stable films and treated woven substrates to prevent material degradation under high-altitude sun exposure, ensuring long-term material integrity.
In our 3L construction, the breathable membrane is sandwiched between a durable outer woven fabric and a soft tricot inner lining. This protects the membrane from both external abrasion and internal body oils, drastically extending the garment’s lifespan and improving next-to-skin comfort.
