ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

The OUTDRY™ waterproofing system is a patented and exclusive lamination
process that bonds a waterproof, breathable membrane directly to the back
side of a product’s outermost layer, creating a unique one-piece component
while sealing the stitching and any other potential water entry points. The
result is superior waterproofing, breathability, comfort and fit.
Omni-Tech’s™ first layer of defense is Omni-Shield™, which prevents most water
penetration. Next, a microporous membrane provides waterproof protection while
allowing excessive moisture to escape. Omni-Tech™ air-permeable construction
doesn’t need sweat to breathe, making it truly breathable. Omni-Tech™ products
are tested to withstand a minimum associated water pressure of 33 feet (10 meters)
of overhead water. Lining materials protect the Omni-Tech™ membrane from the
inside while adding additional wicking capabilities.

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

Omni-Wick™ EVAP is the next evolution in advanced wicking technology.
We’ve cranked up the performance of our existing Omni-Wick™ platform
by incorporating a special compound that disperses sweat quickly across
a broad surface area for accelerated evaporation, creating a fabric with
incredible sweat dissipating properties.
This moisture transferring technology moves and disperses sweat away from
the body for quick evaporation, keeping you comfortable during physical
activity. Omni-Wick™ is the ultimate moisture management technology for
the outdoors, which allows users to stay dry, prevent chafing, and remain
comfortable all day. The moisture spreads out across the surface of the fabric
where it quickly evaporates.

Omni-Freeze™ ZERO: the coolest way to sweat.
Omni-Freeze™ capitalizes on the sweat that your body produces to
deliver aggressive heat management. The moment moisture hits the

Omni-Shield’s™ water and stain repellent treatment uses low surface tension
to repel liquids. Since the surface tension of liquids decreases with heat,
Omni-Shield™ will protect against liquids that are below 170° F (73 °C). This

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

The Blood ‘N Guts™ fabric treatment is a specifically designed formula to resist and wash

stains. As a first defense, liquid stains bead up and roll off Blood ‘N Guts™ treated fabric.
However, in some cases pressure may cause some liquid stains to penetrate treated
fabric. For stains that penetrate the first line of defense, the Blood ‘N Guts™ formula also
works to release stains with agitation and soap in the washing machine. Blood ‘N Guts™
