Technology
The 2008 Bomber Gear Drytop range uses patented Toray fabrics to deliver real comfort for
any outdoor situation.
What made it possible to achieve such a high degree of performance was
a microporous coating featuring a honeycomb structure to let all vapor
and moisture (averaging 0.0004µm) freely dissipate and quickly
evaporate. 
ENTRANT-HB is a brand new performance fabric whose innovative hybrid structure effectively integrates the advantages of a microporous coating and lamination technologies. To achieve an optimum balance between permeability and resistance to water penetration, ENTRANT-HB's latest microporous coating is engineered to provide perspiration-free comfort over extended periods regardless of the wearer performing low-intensity (A-1) or high-intensity (B-1) activities. The lamination process used provides durable waterproofing with an average resistance to water pressure as high as 30,000mmH20. Toray has managed to incorporate a very high degree of durability into ENTRANT-HB that allows it to retain its outstanding functional qualities after many wash cycles. Toray's achievement was to synergistically combine the two technologies to create a new standard for performance fabrics that also satisfy today's comfort-oriented demands. This coating extends deep into the fabric and the honeycomb's pores average just 2 or 3µm, too small for rain and water droplets (100µm to 3,000µm) to enter, yet allowing vapor to pass through effectively. The ENTRANT fabric exterior was also coated with a durable water-repellent finish that forced water to bead and roll off. Matching ENTRANT's star performance was the durability engineered into the fabric to retain all performance characteristics over an extended period over abuse and numerous washing cycles. |
