Flexothane®

supple, durable rain protection

Introduction to the
Flexothane® fabric family

The Flexothane® fabric family is one of the most trusted choices for high-performance rainwear. Built on a stretchable knitted base with a polyurethane coating, Flexothane® fabrics provide lasting protection against wind and rain while ensuring wearer comfort. They are supple, light and highly tear-resistant, making them ideal for work in demanding conditions.With four dedicated subgroups, the Flexothane® fabric family offers tailored solutions – from cost-efficient essentials to highly durable or specialised protective fabrics.

The Flexothane® technology

At the heart of every Flexothane® fabric lies its unique construction:

  • Polyurethane coating – forms a durable, waterproof and windproof barrier.

  • Knitted base – provides high tear resistance, stretchability and moisture absorption for improved comfort.

  • High-frequency welded seams – guarantee reliable water resistance in every garment.

This combination results in a supple yet strong fabric that is easy to maintain and built to last.
