OUTDRY® TECHNOLOGY – Water not included
OutDry® waterproofing technology is based on a patented lamination process: the combined action of pressure and temperature makes it possible to bond the membrane inside the backpack. The OutDry 3D system serves to create a 3D shape that, adapting to the shape of the backpack, adheres to the inner surface, perfectly sealing the seams and any other potential water entry point. This process makes the backpack completely waterproof (10,000 mm water column, even at the seams) and increases the resistance of fabrics guaranteeing improved durability.
