"Please be aware that when using AiryString® on fabrics with the following characteristics,
there are concerns that the zipper may come unstitched, roll into the slider, or not be strong enough.
◇ Fabrics with notably low slippage resistance
( woven fabrics: fabrics with low thread counts, knitted fabrics: fabrics with loose tension).
◇ Fabrics with low friction resistance
◇ Fabrics with large bumps
◇ Shaggy fabrics"
Seems like the target use case is Athleisure?
- jsolson 1y agoThat would make sense. My first thought was "Arc'teryx will probably adopt this immediately." They (and similar brands) are already pushing as hard as they can on seamlessness or very very tight seams.
- harimau777 1y agoDoesn't Arc'teryx make outdoor gear? That's something where I absolutely would not buy a product that I couldn't repair in the field with a needle and thread.
- jerlam 1y agoYes, Arcteryx makes outdoor gear, but more along the line of technical climbing and backcountry skiing, not backpacking. Not likely to carry a needle and thread to repair your 3L Goretex shell. Of course the brand has been diluted to cater to a more mainstream buyer.
