Water Shield Apparel

Coated Fleece – favoured in the water sports industry. The Polyurethane layer traps water against the skin, insulating the body preventing evaporative cooling. Particularly appreciated in cold water.

• Wind Shield

Dartex transfer coating polyurethane renders any fabric totally impenetrable to wind. Perfect for use in a variation of active sport applications which have wind chill issues such as sailing, kayaking and cycling

• Warmth

Dartex are continually developing revolutionary new products developed for close fitting protective comfort: Combining our Polyurethane coating with a variation of technical substrates we tailor-make a product to your exact warmth requirements. “Blister fabric” - raises the fabric away from the skin creating an insulating layer of warm air next to the skin. “Stretch fleece” - this modular fleece fabric allows the wearer optimum movement with maximum warmth without the restrictions of layering typical of bulky fabrics.

• Active Body Fit

Our coating process creates products with definitive movement and flexibility for activewear garments. We at Dartex pride ourselves in creating dynamic combinations to combat stress regions such as the knee and elbow area. The unique properties of the coating benefit the wearer through non-restriction of movement making it perfect for any active sport.

• Stretch and Recovery

Combining our coating technology with a modular substrate provides the end product with ultimate stretch and recovery properties. Garments made from this range will retain their shape and ultimately prolonging the longevity.
