What role does the Dintex membrane mentioned in the pants description play?
While reading the description of the soft shell pants, an unfamiliar material name called Dintex membrane appears. It makes one wonder how it achieves waterproofing and breathability at the same time.
It is a functional breathable waterproof membrane that blocks water and wind blowing in from the outside, while expelling sweat and moisture generated by the body during movement to the outside.
It blocks cold water and wind from the outside and releases heat from the body to the outside. The Dintex membrane used in ostrya's Alpine Soft Shell Pants is a functional fabric that serves both waterproof and breathable roles[1].
In addition, the outer shell of the pants blends 94% polyester and 6% spandex to enhance mobility, and a DWR water-repellent coating is applied to the surface[2]. As it is designed with Alpine climbing in mind, emphasis was placed on blocking cold wind and repelling water droplets that touch the surface[3]. It is structured to help reduce pants getting wet from external snow and rain when climbing rough mountain trails, and prevent heat and sweat rising from the legs from being trapped inside.
The specific waterproof hydrostatic head rating or breathability index of the Dintex membrane has not yet been confirmed.
