TARPAULIN
Tarpaulin is a 0.7 mm four-fiber reinforced PVC fabric. A 100% waterproof material that is extremely tough, durable and easy to clean.
For connoisseurs, it is the same material used for the tubes of rigid inflatable boats!
RECYCLED PLASTIC (PET fabric)
The latest Feelfree technology, this innovative fabric is made by recycling plastic bottles. A durable, tough material that is above all kinder to our planet.
CANVAS
This waterproof fabric is made from specially treated polyester threads. A transparent polyurethane coating is applied to guarantee waterproofing and strength. It is 3x stronger than traditional cotton canvas, UV-resistant and still very supple.
POLYURETHANE SYNTHETIC LEATHER
Synthetic leather laminated with a polyurethane coating for waterproofing and durability.
HDW technology
High frequency welds
To obtain welds as strong as our materials, we use high frequency welding technology.
During this process, the elements to be assembled are clamped between two dies and subjected to a high-frequency electric field. The vibration of the molecules creates heat, combined with strong pressure, which allows the different elements of our bags to fuse together.
These welds are much stronger than any seams, and above all perfectly waterproof.
DWR (Durable Water Repellent)
Antibacterial treatment
The Tarpaulin cover and the fabrics of our bags have received a durable antibacterial treatment.
Seam sealing tape
To assemble bags that cannot be high-frequency welded, a polyurethane film is placed under the seams, to prevent water from entering the needle holes and seeping into your equipment.
