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.
Reinforced fabric made from Cordura® and Kevlar® fibres. An extremely efficient combination of wear and tear-resistant materials.
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.
Polyurethane cuffs Unlike neopren, polyurethane prevents water ingress efficiently and dries quickly.
