The DWR coating makes the fabric water repellent, so that water forms droplets on its surface and runs off instead of soaking in. This protects the fabric from getting wet quickly, providing greater comfort in wet conditions, but does not guarantee full water repellency.

YKK Vislon® technology involves the use of components made of injected plastic, such as polyacetal, making the zips lighter than metal zips of the same size. They are also characterised by their ease of movement, allowing one-handed adjustment of ventilation.
