Raven Wear is proud to utilize:
Comformax®IB
 The Ultimate Wind Barrier and More
The ultimate
wind barrier should stop the wind, of course: during exertion it should also
permit heat and perspiration to escape to help regulate the body's temperature.
Popular film membranes have excellent wind resistance but lack air permeability.
ComforMax®IB provides excellent wind resistance, too - in
fact, it takes 14 layers of 40 - gram insulation, or eight layers of taffeta, to
equal the wind barrier of one layer of ComforMax®IB.
Plus Comformax®IB is engineered to also provide an optimum
level of air permeability to help maintain a comfortable body temperature.
 Performance Plus
This is a
high-performance fabric that offers many benefits:
-
Excellent wind
resistance
-
Its air
permeability minimizes perspiration and allows wearer to cool down more
effectively after exertion.
-
Greater
strength and durability than the leading thin insulation.
-
Won't absorb
water, so it dries quickly.
-
MVTR rate
comparable to popular membranes in laminated package form.
-
Weighs next to
nothing, so it won't add bulk.
-
Luxuriously
supple for ultimate comfort
-
Ultra-thin,
soft, and quiet - very important for hunting apparel. Especially quiet
in cold conditions - unlike other membranes.
-
Machine
wash/dry at low temperature, drip or dry clean.
How do we do it?
Comformax®IB starts as microdenier polyolefin fiber that is
naturally water resistance. Each fiber is extremely small - smaller, in
fact, than a single human hair. A process invented by DuPont, called hydroentangling,
entangles the fibers with high-pressure jets of water, reducing the holes
between them to microscopic pores. this creates a "baffle" efect,
which is why Comformax®IB achieves the optimum balance between wind
resistance and air permeability.
