WIND CHILL EFFECT

The Sympatex membrane is 100% windproof.
This functional property is important to avoid the wind chill effect, the subjective feeling of feeling cold in the wind.
The wind removes the warming layer of air from around the body. The perceived temperature
is lower than the actual temperature. No wind chill effect with Sympatex membrane: 0 litres of air per second pass through 1 m² of Sympatex membrane. This means that according to DIN EN ISO 9237, the Sympatex membrane is absolutely windproof and prevents any drop in performance.
