After the successful spring presentation at the Lineapelle trade fair in February 2015, Sympatex Technologies will again take part in the leading international leather fair in Milan this fall (9th to 11th September 2015). Together with its longtime Italian distribution partner PIDIGI S.p.A., the ecological alternative among functional textile specialists will present high-performance technologies as well as the latest laminate developments in the business area “footwear”.

As a highlight, Sympatex will introduce a further development of “Sympatex Climate Technology”. Based on a highly functional upper technology, the functional specialist can now offer laminated knitted legs for the first time, which are 100% waterproof and windproof as well as optimally breathable due to the extremely flexible Sympatex membrane. Another advantage lies in the seamless leg, which means it is taped with just one seam to the heel. Customers can choose between a wide range of colours and knitting patterns. The material mix of the 100% recyclable “guaranteed green” Sympatex membrane and the hydrophobic, knitted upper offers allows a year-round use.

Another Sympatex technology has become increasingly popular: More and more Sympatex partners like VAUDE (outdoor sports), Deeluxe (winter sports) and Rock Fall (protective workwear) use “Moisture-tech® by Sympatex”. Due to the extremely absorbent material, moisture is quickly transported away from the foot and is kept away from the lining by an outward suction effect. The advantage is a high level of comfort and dry feet for maximum performance in all weather. Furthermore, the longtime customer Baltes has also chosen Moisture-tech® 360°: An innovative insole, which offers a perfect all-round solution for comfortable dry feet in any weather in combination with the Moisture-tech® lining laminates. Excellent Empa* test values have confirmed the high performance of Moisture-tech® 360°.
