After a hopefully fantastic cycling summer, you have to prepare as a cyclist for a cold Belgian winter. Northwave wants to respond to this through a new collaboration with eVent fabrics. The Italian manufacturer will use the latest eVent ePTFE membrane technology, called DVstretch, in the Northwave Arctic Jacket, which will be released in October.
The Arctic Jacket offers protection and comfort thanks to the windproof DVstretch membrane, which is used in the three-layer BP Puma laminate from ITTTAI-Bel Punto S.r.l., which can exclusively make fabrics with the DV stretch technology. The BP Puma laminate covers the entire front and back of the jacket to provide good wind protection, breathing and staying elastic. The fabric can stretch 35% and fully return to its original state. In addition, Northwave uses Lombardia fabric, a very soft and open material, under the arms to better match the body.
DVstretch uses eVent's Direct Venting (DV) technology, which means that the ePTFE membrane is air-permeable and has a porous structure, so that heat and sweat can pass directly through the membrane. In addition, the DV stretch is windproof and water-repellent.
"This combination of benefits is ideal for aerobic sports such as cycling," says Chad Kelly, Global Product Manager at eVent fabrics. "Cyclists generate a lot of heat and moisture that needs to get away quickly through clothing. But they also need essential protection from wind and weather."
The Arctic Jacket is in the "Be Visible Be Safe" collection from Northwave, which is designed for maximum visibility and safety, which is especially important when the days get shorter and it gets dark, foggy or rainy faster. There are also reflective Pixel details in the jacket. This unique technology allows reflective heat transfer vinyls to be printed directly onto the fabric so that a larger part of the jacket can reflect. They are also softer than normal reflection elements. They are in this jacket on the neck, sleeves, and back.
