Daniel Hechter is a leading European lifestyle brand and stands for ambitious sportiness, that combines an attractive look with professional understanding. Daniel Hechter will appear with their nanosphere collection and bring new products on the market. The nanosphere textile technology is based on a mimicry effect: the so called lotus flower effect. Water and dirt drips off from a specially structured surface on the leaves. A comparable surface structure is guaranteed on the fabric surface due to the nano particles. These tiny particles produce a natural self-cleaning effect on the fabric. Water and dirt have no chance to penetrate. The jackets preserve this feature even after a longer wearing period and multiple washing cycles.
