Technical Information

Waterproofing

Microscopic pores on the XR Performance™ membrane are up to 18,000 times smaller than a water droplet meaning water can not pass through. This membrane helps to keep you dry from the inside and out when applied to our Cascade Ballistic™ and Cordura® fabrics and assembled by our XR Performance™ certified factories

Breathability

The pores of the XR Performance membrane are up to 600 times larger than a water vapor molecule allowing perspiration to easily pass through

Teflon® DWR Polymer

All XR Performance™ Silver, Gold, and Platinum level products have an ultra-thin treatment of Teflon® DWR (Durable Water Repellent Polymer) applied to the outermost fabric layer. This coating forces water to bead up and roll off rather than soak in

Seam Taping

Every stitch in a seam is a potential leak. That’s why to ensure waterproofness all items with XR Performance™ levels of Silver, Gold, and Platinum are fully seam taped by specially trained manufacturers in certified factories
