Detailed description
The 3-layer Dermizax shell jacket for men offers excellent protection against wind and weather. Thanks to Dermizax technology, the jacket remains waterproof and breathable even in extreme conditions. The adjustable hood, waterproof zippers, and ergonomic design ensure maximum comfort during outdoor activities.
Our 3-Lagen-Dermizax® line was developed for use in powder conditions. The fabric offers an optimal combination of abrasion resistance, breathability, and waterproofness. The loose fit also allows unrestricted freedom of movement. The main focus of our 3-layer products is optimal breathability thanks to the integrated Dermizax® membrane. The jacket is best worn in combination with functional base layers and insulating mid-layers, which can be adjusted as needed depending on weather conditions.

Dermizax® is a hydrophilic and non-porous functional membrane developed by the Japanese company Toray. Simply put, it is a water-loving film without pores that is responsible for ensuring the waterproofness and breathability of the clothing. When you sweat, the moisture inside the garment increases. The hydrophilic membrane then attracts this moisture and directs it to the outside, where it evaporates. Inside the garment, a comfortable and dry environment is maintained. The newly developed QWR impregnation makes the outer fabric even more water-repellent than conventional DWR treatments..
WASHING
You can wash our shell products at 40 degrees, turned inside out, on a gentle cycle—preferably without spinning. We recommend using a mild liquid detergent and rinsing twice if possible to ensure no detergent residue remains in the fabric. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as these can impair the waterproofness (of the outer fabric) and affect the color. This means you can use your regular detergent as long as it meets these requirements. Alternatively, you can use special detergents for membrane clothing available from specialty retailers. Before washing, close all zippers.
WASH-FREQUENCY
Wasche dein Shell Produkt je nach Gebrauch resp. Grad der Verschmutzung. Als Richtwert empfehlen wir 1-2 pro Saison.
REACTIVATING OR RENEWING THE WATER-REPELLENT COATING
1. Hang your shell product up to dry after washing, preferably in the shade. 2. Reactivate the existing water-repellent coating with heat (iron or tumble dryer at max. 100 °C / 212 °F). 3. Using an iron is the gentlest method for the fabric. Place a kitchen towel between the iron and the garment as protection. 4. Check the functionality after reactivation by sprinkling water on the product. 5. If the water no longer beads up and dark, wet spots appear, it’s time to renew the coating. 6. Reapply water-repellent coating to the shell product using a spray. We recommend Toko or Nikwax.
Summary: In this video, we’ll show you how it’s done.
SERVICE
If all of this sounds too complicated, you can also send us your shell product, and we’ll provide a professional washing and reproofing service — for the DWR (Durable Water Repellency). All our membrane products are treated on the outer fabric (surface) with a polymer coating known in the industry as DWR. When the product is new, this treatment ensures that the outer fabric repels water and dirt. With use, the effect of the polymer treatment diminishes, especially in exposed areas such as the seat, knees, or shoulders. Don’t worry — the product will remain waterproof, as the membrane itself is responsible for keeping it watertight.
