Sweat has to be wicked away from the body as quickly and effectively as possible, before it condenses on the skin and you cool down too much. This is why we use a variety of materials with Active Moisture Management.
These materials consist predominately of polyester or polyamide yarns with a Q.M.C. function (Quick Moisture Control). Thanks to their special fibre structure, they quickly wick sweat away from the body to the surface of the material, where it then evaporates.
Apparel which commonly features Active Moisture Management includes functional underwear, base layers and many of our outdoor pants and shirts.
The layering system comprises three layers of clothing, which each have a specific task:
The first layer comes in direct contact with the skin. It quickly and efficiently wicks away sweat to the exterior and prevents the body from cooling down rapidly. Our functional underwear and base layers are ideal for this first layer of clothing.
The second layer provides insulation and wicks away moisture from the first layer. Depending on the activity, outdoor shirts, fleeces, light down jackets or jackets with a light synthetic fibre interlining form the second layer of clothing. The different materials make it possible to perfectly adjust insulation to match the temperature and activity.
The third layer ensures weather protection. If it’s mostly dry, softshells are a convenient option. They are wind-resistant and water-repellent and provide adequate weather protection against approx. 90% of weather situations. They also guarantee impressive climate comfort. If you’re looking for 100% weather protection, our TEXAPORE weatherproof jackets are ideal: they are waterproof, windproof and breathable!
For our UV protective apparel we only use materials where the UV protection is not achieved via chemical treatment. Instead, the protective function results from the use of special yarns and/or fabric constructions (e.g. extremely dense weaves).
Advantages:
Apparel with an UV protection factor of 40+ quotes the EN 13758-1:2001+A1:2006 standard. Only covered areas are protected. The protection may be reduced with use or if stretched or wet.
There is a narrow label bearing a seven-digit product number behind the care label. Directly below the product number, there is a combination of several numbers and letters – the first two figures of this combination are the year of production. This information helps our customer service to process enquiries.
The respective product name of our apparel does not appear on the products. The label which features the article number is usually located at the side seam or in one of the jacket pockets.
On some of our products from the equipment range, there is also a product name directly below the Jack Wolfskin logo.
The size label is located inside the shoe (usually on the inside of the tongue).
info: on the invoice and in the shopping cart, you will find the 5 or 7-digit article number, which follows the colour code (usually 4-digits) separated by a hyphen and then a 3-digit size code.
Materials with an antimicrobial effect inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria. The effect is limited to the material itself and doesn’t affect the skin.
Both the silver particles integrated into the fibres and the properties of TENCEL materials made from Lyocell fibres naturally reduce the spread of odour-causing bacteria. We use materials with silver particles in our functional underwear, for example, and use TENCEL materials for our functional outdoor shirts.
