MEMBRAN.
First-class powder wear starts with cutting-edge materials.
Why our membrane is better:
- Significantly more elastic: Dermizax is a flexible 4-way stretch membrane. This provides noticeably greater freedom of movement – perfect for freeriding and ski touring.
- Extremely high breathability: Dermizax becomes even more breathable during physical exertion. Ideal for sweat-inducing ascents.
- Completely waterproof: With over 20,000 mm water column, Dermizax provides reliable protection even in heavy snowfall or wet powder.
- Easy care: Regular detergent is all that’s needed, as the membrane cannot get clogged. Less effort, longer-lasting performance. Since the membrane has no pores, it won’t be blocked by conventional detergents.
- No clogging: Sweat salts or dirt cannot block the membrane, so its performance remains fully intact even after many tours.
- Sustainability & care: The membrane is made from polyurethane (PU), is 100% recyclable, and has a positive environmental footprint. Unlike porous PTFE-based membranes, its production generates no harmful waste.
IN SHORT.
Our membrane delivers more comfort, more mobility, and higher real-world breathability, without compromising on waterproofness.

“My introduction to the hardshell system — and I’d never want to give it up again :) Even after five years, I still stay dry on wet days on the chairlift. And if a repair is ever needed, the process is simple: send it in and get it back repaired.”

Unlike porous membranes, which rely on microscopic pores, Dermizax has a pore-free structure and is made from a hydrophilic (water-loving) plastic that actively draws moisture away from the body. This moisture is then pulled out by the cold, dry air. The lower the temperature and the lower the humidity, the faster sweat is transported—ensuring a dry and comfortable feel, even during intense activity.
Thanks to its lasting performance and durability, Dermizax is the ideal choice for anyone looking for reliable weather protection, maximum comfort and long-term performance. That’s why we use Dermizax® by Toray, Japan’s leading textile manufacturer.
