Pertex. Weaving high-performance fabrics for outdoor people since 1979.
Our innovative products equip outdoor people for adventures both epic and everyday, enabling them to be out in the elements for longer and better.
Pertex fabrics are created out of ongoing partnerships and shaped by our concern for the wellbeing of the planet. We weave them in collaboration and with responsibility, to be used and reused over many lifetimes.
Pertex fabrics are developed with tenacity, versatility, and a creativity that enables us to adapt to the prevailing conditions – qualities shared by the people that use our fabrics.
Our mission is to support people to experience the outdoors with greater intensity. And we are dogged in the pursuit of technologies that make this possible.

![<p><strong>Woven Fabrics<br /></strong></p>
<p>Bonded and laminated materials for jackets and pants that combine the features of the second and third layers of functional clothing systems. It is claimed to be used in 80% of all activities. Softshells may be made of woven or knit fabrics, however, the seams may not be taped. Softshells usually have elastic properties.</p> Woven Fabrics](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_woven.png)
![<p><strong>DOWNPROOF</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics are appropriate for processing with down and padding because of their structure or coating. Migration of the down fibers is only prevented in these fabrics if the right material is used with the matching down. The manufacturer should be consulted for a processing recommendation. Reference points are provided by the down standards (of special importance are the air permeability of the fabric and the IDFL (International Down and Feather Testing Laboratory) values for materials and fillers).</p> Downproof](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_downproof.png)
![<p><strong>HIGH ABRASION</strong></p>
<p>Highly robust, abrasion resistant and even cut resistant fabrics for use in motorcycle or alpine clothing collections and work clothes (especially, forestry work) - processed either as full surface or as reinforcement. Abrasion resistant fabrics are characterized by high ratings in the Martindale method (EN-ISO-12947-2). Cut resistant fabrics may be so designated by the FPA or must comply with DIN EN 381, Parts 2 and 5.</p> High Abrasion](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_high_abrasion.png)
![<p><strong>Quick Dry</strong></p>
<p>Materials that distribute absorbed moisture over a larger area, effectively allowing them to evaporate faster. The quick drying properties can be achieved by the type of fiber, fiber cross section, fabric construction, or treatment.</p> Quick Dry](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_quick_dry.png)
![<p><strong>Stretch</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that are elastic because of their fiber inserts and/or fabric structure. This category is further sub-divided in two or four way stretch (bi- and multi-stretch).</p> Stretch](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_stretch.png)
![<p><strong>Waterproof & Breathable</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics and agents for the production of waterproof clothing. The term waterproof implies coated or laminated materials, which can achieve the minimum water column requirements (in mm). Whether a fabric is classified as waterproof depends on the relevant standard. In Europe, the standard is EN-ISO-811, which specifies a minimum value of 1500 mm. The Japanese JIS method demands the attainment of a minimum value of 3000 mm. The height of the water column is application dependent, so higher values are sometimes necessary.</p>
<p>A functional fabric should provide good breathability. This is expressed by the MVTR. The value is given in g/m²/24h – the higher the value, the better the breathability.</p> Waterproof & Breathable](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_waterproof_breathable.png)
![<p><strong>WINDPROOF</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that have a very high wind resistance. This is measured in air volume over time (CCS).</p> Windproof](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_windproof_breathable.png)
![<p><strong>Fluorocarbon-Free Repellant </strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that achieve water repellant properties without the use of harmful per fluorinated chemicals that may pose a risk to health and the environment. This information is of special interest with coated or laminated base materials since they frequently involve working with PFC’s.</p> Fluorocarbon-Free Repellant](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_FLUOCARBON-FREE.png)
![<p><strong>Recycled</strong></p>
<p>Materials, fabrics, fibers, and yarns that are recycled. The raw materials, natural materials, and synthetic materials come from either post-consumer-waste like PET bottles, or from post-industrial-waste such as paper manufacturing, and are then reworked either chemically or mechanically.</p> Recycled](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_RECYCLED.png)
