Wet Weather gear has become very technical over the past few years, and like any technical product needs to be serviced. What sets Musto HPX above other Wet Weather gear is that Musto uses GORE-TEX® trilaminate fabric.

Tri-laminate fabrics, having an inner ‘olliophobic’ layer (which repels sweat, insect repellent, sun screen etc) This layer protects the second layer which in essence is the working mid layer membrane. An external third layer Face fabric is then layered on top. This outer ‘face fabric’ is your coloured layer and allows water to bead off if coated correctly. This layer is extremely important as it has tiny microscopic hairs which like animal hair cause water to bead from the garment.

This is the crucial aspect that needs to be serviced as over time these hairs will flatten out. When these hairs flatten out this means the water sits on the fabric (or ‘wets out’). This is a common occurrence and leads many people to people think their garment is leaking. A good wash using our recommended products and warm tumble drier will rejuvenate these hairs to allow the water to once again bead from the garment.
