FTX™ is never a fabric OR a membrane, it is always the ultimate combination of both.
Our FTX™ combinations are based on a membrane technology and used in our high performance garments, allowing the outer fabric to be waterproof while maintaining high levels of breathability. CROSS FTX™
garments not only protect you from the elements, but also manage moisture and maintain proper heat balance to keep you dry, an important part of staying comfortable. Breathable outerwear allows moisture to evaporate rather than trapping it against the body. |
An ultra thin film is laminated (glued under pressure) to the inside of the outer fabric. This film contains microscopic holes that are large enough to release water
molecules (perspiration) in the form of steam (transpiration) from our body. However, they are too small to let in 1000 times larger water drops from rain or snow.
The difference in temperature and the so-called steam pressure between the inside and outside of the fabric is what drives the steam (perspiration) out through the fabric. This is called breathability and the technology
that keeps you comfortable. |
