Fabrics and trimmings : only the best will do ! Quality as n

Quality as n°1 requirement
As you may have to tough out with totally unpredictable conditions, the XM seawear range leaves nothing to chance : safety,
comfort, ease of movement, protection, durability and also stylish cut and smart look are the notions our designers kept in mind
when tailoring our new range of marine clothing.
Breathability and waterproofness, durable resistance to light and discolouration, resistance to chafe, abrasion and delamination,
seams watertightness… these are some of the tests which our garments are continuously submitted to throughout production,
before they undergo the typical knocks and scrapes encountered on board.
When designing our XM seawear, we never forgot that sailing should be nothing but fun.
Fabrics and trimmings :
only the best will do !
4-layer technology. Durable water repellent polyamide,
with microporous coating and hydrophilic membrane,
then with tricot bonding. Resistance to wear, rip and
drag is considerably higher than with conventional
polyamides. Highly breathable and waterproof.
2-layer technology. Water repellent polyamide fabric with
hydrophilic coating. Resistance to wear, rip and drag.
Uncreasable and insulating, it ensures excellent breathability
and waterproofness.
Zip
All XM technical seawear are
equipped with sturdy plastic
YKK® zips (outside) which do
not jam with seawater.

prevents water ingress
efficiently and dries quickly.
