Anybody has a clue what for the synthetic spider material would be used? I presume on the outer surface because of its durability, but you still need membrane ala Goretex below it to maintain waterproof & relatively breathable qualities, if its for outdoor activities and not just walking around the town. Haven't seen any details in articles, and can't play video at work :(
- richmarr 11y agoYep, from the video it looks like the outer shell.

- borkt 11y agoGoretex or even waterproof fabric is not necessary in many alpine situations where this jacket could be used. A lot of down filled insulating garments do not have any waterproof fabric as it is and instead people prefer to just throw a shell over them if there is any precip.
- saiya-jin 11y agoAh, for down application of course, didn't catch that part. There you want just as windproof/everything resistant as possible, and when it's too hot, you open/put it down. Would be interesting to see comparison of actual benefits compared to current high tech fabrics used, all high-fill lightweight down stuff has some nanotech fabric to keep it light & durable.
