Passionate adventurers and professional athletes have trusted eVent fabrics for high performance waterproof breathable technology for long-lasting protection and comfort. eVent alpineST, a top-of-the-mountain alternative to ePFTE, is the PFAS-free innovation that you can count on for season after season of even the most rigorous outdoor activity.
The Demand for PFAS-Free Solutions in Outerwear
The outerwear industry is undergoing a significant shift toward PFAS-free solutions as brands and consumers increasingly prioritize environmental sustainability. PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, have long been used for their water-repellent and durable properties, but their persistence in the environment and potential health risks have raised concerns. In response, many companies are developing innovative materials that maintain high performance without relying on these chemicals. This transition reflects growing regulatory pressures and a demand for eco-conscious products that reduce environmental impact. By adopting PFAS-free technologies, brands are not only addressing these concerns but also setting new standards for responsible manufacturing in the outdoor apparel industry.
eVent fabrics' alpineST is a groundbreaking solution designed to meet the demand for sustainable, high-performance outerwear. This PFAS-free, non-PTFE laminate material delivers exceptional waterproofness, breathability, and durability, making it ideal for extreme conditions. With alpineST, eVent fabrics sets a new benchmark for environmentally responsible innovation without compromising on performance.
High Waterproofness & Breathability
eVent alpineST sets a new standard in outerwear materials with its exceptional waterproofing and breathability, ensuring optimal protection in extreme and unpredictable conditions. Its innovative laminate construction provides a reliable barrier against heavy rain, snow, and wind while efficiently managing moisture to keep wearers dry and comfortable during high-intensity activities. Designed to meet the demands of professionals and enthusiasts in alpine, snow sports, and expedition environments, alpineST offers unmatched durability and performance.
All Day Comfort
alpineST delivers industry-leading moisture management through its advanced breathable membrane technology, allowing sweat and vapor to escape efficiently while blocking external water. This dual performance ensures that wearers stay dry and comfortable, even during intense activities in extreme conditions. Its superior moisture management minimizes condensation buildup, reducing discomfort and enhancing overall user experience.
Durability for the Toughest Conditions
When it comes to outdoor gear, durability is paramount. The harsh conditions encountered during activities like skiing, mountaineering, or motorcycling demand materials that can withstand the test of time. eVent alpineST is one such material thanks to the use of abrasion resistant fabrics, a tough, yet flexible membrane, and a fluorine-free DWR that helps repel dirt and moisture. Its robust construction ensures longevity, even when exposed to prolonged periods of challenging environmental conditions. Whether you're braving a blizzard or navigating a rocky trail, alpineST provides reliable protection.
The Test of Time
The outstanding key to alpineST is its remarkable long-lasting trifecta: waterproofness, breathability, and durability, even after repeated use and dozens of washings. As the graph below illustrates, alpineST maintains its performance and integrity over time better than traditional laminate fabrics. This means you can rely on alpineST countless seasons.
Sustainable Qualities
eVent alpineST also has high credibility for its sustainable qualities. It features a PFAS-free membrane and has a C0 DWR treatment that offers an extra layer of durable water repellency without the need for harmful fluorocarbons. Additionally, alpineST utilizes recycled face and backer fabrics, reducing waste and conserving resources. Its exceptional durability ensures a long lifespan, minimizing the need for frequent replacements and ultimately reducing landfill waste.
Choosing eVent alpineST for Premium Performance Without Compromise
eVent alpineST offers a compelling solution for those seeking reliable long-lasting high-performance outerwear without compromising on sustainability. Its exceptional waterproofness, breathability, and durability, coupled with a PFAS-free and recycled materials construction, make it an optimal choice for even the harshest conditions. By choosing alpineST, you can confidently embrace the outdoors, knowing that you're making an environmentally responsible choice without sacrificing performance.
