Windtex Citadel™
Italian made with Italian sport-car-like performance, Windtex Citadel™ is a miracle work that at the nanoscale! The Ferrari of thermal fabrics, Citadel™ offers true wind- and waterproof performance without sacrificing performance in other key areas. The secret is its nanomembrane technology. Citadel’s™ nanomembrane allows the fabric to still be breathable and deliver ironclad windproof and waterproof protection while still allowing for 4-way stretch for maximum range of motion and freedom.
What does this 4-way stretch mean for you? It means that Windtex Citadel™ meets the seemingly impossible goal of outstanding weather protection without sacrificing other areas of garment performance. Normally with a thicker heavier garment, you lose critical performance areas like range of motion and efficiency. This translates to you working harder and fatiguing faster. With Citadel™ you retain breakthrough fluidity and elasticity and reduce garment-related resistance.
With the use of a nanomembrane for wind and water proof performance, Windtex Citadel™ brings true long term protection without the unpleasant side effects that traditional wind and water proof fabrics deliver. Traditional wind and water proof fabrics without membrane technology lock your body’s heat and sweat in. The effect is the same as creating your own personal green house! Not a good result. But with Citadel™ the fabric remains breathable, allowing for great comfort and moisture-management while still maintaining windproof and waterproof protection.
