Darlexx

Darlexx, a product of the Shawmut Corporation,[1] is a warp knit fabric laminated to a monolithic film. It is a sports performance fabric used in gloves, boots, wet suits, ski apparel, clean rooms, and in medical applications. It was designed to keep a person "warm when the environment is cold and cool when the environment is hot" and is breathable, windproof, and waterproof.[2]

It is also useful in applications in specialty orthopedic garments and clothing along with coverings for different seating and positioning systems on wheelchairs.

Types

There are two variations of Darlexx:

  • Darlexx Superskin, a two-ply nylon and Lycra mix that provides less drag, and thus is used for competition swimming, skiing and running apparel.
  • Darlexx Thermalastic, a three-ply Lycra with thermoplastic film and microfiber fleece that has all-directional stretch and insulation, and is used in watersports and skiing apparel.[3]

gollark: Can I send some eggs I want viewbombed, viewbombers?
gollark: The **Z**ombies are coming.
gollark: Fun fact: if you replace the `/view/` with `/click/` anyone viewing that counts as clicking it.
gollark: Clearly we should ban everyone from the server. It's the only way to be sure.
