Proshell – High-Performance Waterproof & Breathable Laminate for Extreme Outdoor Protection

When it comes to mountain sports, alpine expeditions, and all-weather adventures, apparel brands need materials that can endure pressure, resist moisture, and allow continuous airflow.

ProShell™, developed by Kae Hwa Industrial Co., Ltd., is a film-to-woven lamination system engineered for high-intensity outdoor apparel that demands both protection and breathability.

Through precision microporous or monolithic film technology, ProShell™ maintains durable waterproof performance while enabling high vapor transmission to keep the body dry from the inside out — even under extreme physical activity or harsh weather.

ProShell™ — built for the summit, trusted by performance apparel brands worldwide.

Core Advantages

ProShell™ combines functional films with woven base fabrics such as nylon, polyester, or mechanical stretch materials.

This results in high-strength laminates that deliver outstanding protection and stability in mountain, hiking, and tactical conditions.

Film + Woven Fabric + Tricot Backing for maximum durability.

Tailored for moisture vapor management.

Ensures waterproofing under continuous abrasion.

Maintains stability under sun and high-altitude exposure.

Designed for professional garment assembly lines.

About Us

FAQ

ProShell™ is built using high-tenacity woven fabrics (like Nylon or Polyester) rather than nonwovens. This provides significantly higher tensile strength and abrasion resistance, making it suitable for professional mountaineering and tactical gear where the fabric is subject to constant friction.

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.

For tactical applications, we offer custom camouflage printing, infrared (IR) reflective coatings, and specific matte finishes, all while maintaining the high waterproof and breathable standards required for field operations.
