ok, I just love this stuff, all this waterproof breathable fabric stuff. Its so cool!!
So I'm itching to make a jacket to wear out of Ultrex. the style of jacket is 'nicer' looking LOL, but it'll be made from a 'performance' fabric, so if I'm doing chores in the rain no problem. If I could make it happen I'd love to get some of the scholler nano-sphere fabric, that has to be the coolest stuff on the planet! but since I'm on a budget, the Ultrex is looking good.
wondering why I don't make it from the same material as my new chore chaps? the chaps are super waterproof - so much that perspiration can't get OUT, that's why they're chaps and not pants!
Some fun info bout Ultrex!!
Ultrex is a waterproof, windproof, durable and extremely breathable fabric system. The cross section view shows how Ultrex provides extreme protection for a wide range of weather conditions and activities. A microporous coating is applied to the underside of the fabric. The micropores are small enough to block out wind and rain, yet large enough to permit perspiration vapor molecules to escape. A durable finish causes water to bead up on the outside to keep the fabric dry. In testing to measure a materials ability to prevent water from passing through the fabric, Ultrex kept the wearer drier far longer than any other waterproof / breathable fabric on the market. And, in a "moisture penetration test," which demonstrates how well the fabric stands up to wetness under constant pressure, Ultrex retained its superiority even after repeated washings. Anytime it is cold and wet outside, Ultrex keeps you warm and dry inside.
