XPEL & XPLORE:
Gill's OS3 2024 Sailing Trousers includes XPEL and XPLORE technology, which we'll go into further detail about below:
XPEL:
This revolutionary plant based fabric technology offers incredible levels of water repellence, with water simply rolling off the outer fabric without a trace, even salt water which can otherwise easily 'wet out' waterproof fabrics due to its lower surface tension. The XPEL finish is also stain resistant, so you won't need to worry about grease, mud, oil, ketchup or even wine, as they can all be easily rinsed away. XPEL can provide this outstanding level of moisture repellence without changing the comfort, hand feel or breathability of the rest of the material.
XPLORE:
A two-layer waterproof, breathable and durable fabric that offers guaranteed protection and comfort. XPEL delivers reliable levels of performance in an array of conditions, where weight and breathability take priority.
