SUPPLEX®, first developed by DuPont in 1985
The nylon is extruded through the smallest possible holes, creating a fiber that is ultra-fine, lightweight, and flexible.
Thousands of these ultra-fine strands are then wrapped together to form the SUPPLEX® fabric
The tiny nano-fibrils enhance the softness of the fabric, giving it the benefit of being as comfortable as cotton, while out-performing cotton by not shrinking, wrinkling, or fading in colour.
Additionally, SUPPLEX® is still able to hold the durability and strength of nylon
DEET-based insect-repellent treatment on the outer fabric, protecting against biting insects such as mosquitoes and midges that may carry harmful diseases like Malaria.
The Advisory Committee for Malaria Prevention in Travellers recommends DEET-based insect repellents as offering the most effective protection.
Their treatment is guaranteed for at least five washes
