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.

A membrane developed by the Salomon brand with excellent waterproof and breathable performance. The guiding principle in its development was to make the material flexible and easy to wash.

These high-performance microfibres absorb sweat on the surface of the fabric, effectively removing it. This gives a cooling effect when it is hot outside. In winter, dry clothing provides more warmth. MXM works best when worn directly on the skin, where the fibres provide the best drying properties.
