Sympatex Technologies will focus on Hike, Bike and City product segments while introducing its wide product and technology range at the OutDoor 2014 that will take place in Friedrichshafen from 10-13 July.

The company will present a novel laminate combination for breathable single-wall tents as well as a membrane-based Bivi bag amongst other products.

Hike category

Sympatex offers an alternative system to the usual PU-coated and siliconised materials of single-wall tents. The company presents perfect climate regulation and moisture management inside the tent based on the Moisture-tech and High2Out technologies.

The new Sympatex tent laminates are said to offer highest breathability and 100% waterproofness with the lowest possible weight. Another new product is the Sympatex Bivi Bag that combines the Sympatex Reflexion membrane with a light textile base material.

Best climate

For the 2015 season, the company’s Finnish partner HALTI will introduce the new two-layer jacket Tiikarla.

The 100% water and windproof, breathable Sympatex membrane is said to provide the best climate for all outdoor activities. Tiikarla offers many functional details, such as an active dry lining, a big inner mesh pocket and an adjustable hood.

Bike category

The men’s Sympapro Jacket will now complement the portfolio of the company’s partner VAUDE. With the Sympatex membrane the sporty bike jacket offers maximum weather protection, the manufacturer reports.

This product is also said to be environmentally friendly: the polyetherester Sympatex membrane is 100% recyclable, PTFE-free and PFC-free.

The new French partner Esthete Cycle will present the Eclaireur jacket. The fashion label stands for an urban and modern city cycling style and uses Sympatex membrane for perfect weather protection. The jacket is equipped with an additional LED light system on the sleeves and on the back, providing ideal visibility in the city traffic.

City category

The fashion label Maharishi will also cooperate with Sympatex. The British partner presents a classic olive-green two-layer parka with a partly recycled upper.

The stylish functional jacket offers ideal weather protection. All inseams are taped to be waterproof, and the outer seams are also decorated with black tapes.

The AllCast Waterproof Duck Boot M of the new Sympatex partner Crocs feels light and comfortable, just like sneakers, the company reports. The guaranteed green Sympatex membrane is said to create a perfect foot climate.

Guaranteed green
