Superhydrophobic biker jacket realized with lamb leather.
One of the application areas of Leather P eco-friendly, smart and performance leather is clothing for extreme weather conditions. Our technology offers the possibility to perform outdoor activities without giving up a touch of luxury but wearing our comfortable leather clothes. Superhydrophobic leather could be considered a natural technical textile, waterproof is coupled with high natural breathability and possibility to wash in the washing machine.
The excellent waterproofing derives from stoichiometric tanning process that allows to functionalize the whole threedimensional collagen matrix of the leather. The treatment are not limited to the surface, with an effect time-limited and linked to the wear of textile surface, but single collagen fibres even in the inner layers, are homogenously coated with hydrophobic agent.
Leather Plus technology on one hand provide the extreme hydrophobicity and on the other allows the creation of garment and goods that preserve the characteristic silky hand, softness to touch and high breathability suitable for fashion luxury.
Hydrophobic INSIDE is the key element of Leather Plus products.
