what is storm dfend™ technology?

Meet the Next Generation Softshell, designed to keep you comfortable and protected.

The traditional, restrictive woven face of yesterday has been kicked to the curb. In its stead, we see a soft, breathable and stretchy knit. Replacing the face fabric allows the jacket, pullover or vest to move with your body and breathe to keep you comfortable, rather than trapping your body heat inside. The fabric is lighter, but a layer of durable water-resistant coating is ready to protect you from the elements. This coating is designed to last up to 10-15 launderings and keep its finish.

While Storm Dfend™ fabrics keep you dry they also keep you warm by bonding all the face fabrics to soft micofleece. Microfleece provides a plush warmth without the bulk that you'll want to wear all day long. Additionally, this fleece creates pieces that are the perfect mid weight layer giving you a true 3 season warmth to last from the fall to spring.
