Alternative A new generation of fluorine-free, fully microporous, waterproof membranes We believe in a world where outdoor clothing protects people as much as the nature we all enjoy. Unfortunately, the industry has not always been able to fulfill this promise in the past. Either forever chemicals (PFCs) were used in the products and especially the membranes or the quality and performance of the clothes were not acceptable. Our patented template removal process is used in the manufacturing of our microporous membranes to provide the apparel industry with a real sustainable alternative without any compromise in performance. Our membranes are then incorporated into final products, typically outdoor gear.
