EVolution of Function
EVF ski garments have been engineered to provide an exceptional level of quality and technical performance at affordable prices.
EVF Professional garments are 100% taped, waterproof, windproof and breathable.
EVF Protection uses our AFT Air Feather Touch lightweight insulation.
EVF materials are laboratory tested to international standards and our garments are 100% guaranteed.
We have exhaustively selected exclusive fabrics to EVF.
EVF shell fabrics are either a microporous coated polyester microfiber, or, a two way STRETCH multifibre polyester with a laminated membrane. Whichever fabric you choose, the technical performance is the same.
The specification for the Professional Series garments is Waterproof [WP] 20,000mm, and Moisture Vapour Transmission [MVT] of 20,000gms/sqm/24hrs.
The fabric has a Durable Water Repellant [DWR] finish that significantly improves wet weather performance, even after garment washing. We recommend extra rinse to remove all washing powders of the fabric. Tumble drying and careful use of a warm iron enhances the performance of the waterproof finish.
EVF Warmth Protection is the Air Feather Touch [AFT] lightweight polyester insulation. The Air Cool System incorporates wicking linings, which remove any excess sweat and moisture from the body to ensure comfort in all conditions.
Testing
Each and every product is subjected to exhaustive tests in all the major quality criteria standards – according to strict European standards. Our guarantee covers all defects in material and workmanship that occur within 24 months of purchasing the garment.
