The ion-mask™ treatment of textiles and footwear delivers true waterproofing with no loss of breathability.

Invisible to the naked eye and undetectable to touch, ion-mask™ can be applied to any product after their construction for a uniform, consistent result. Traditionally, textile waterproofing techniques have relied on extra layers which act as a suffocating barrier; or the chemical treatment of the material, which leaves the edges and seams created during the manufacture of the product exposed. Plasma technology works at a molecular level to change the way the surface reacts to liquids, delivering waterproof performance without inhibiting the circulation of air through the fabric for an effective, comfortable result.
