Tour Stretch Outerwear ($300-$700)
The most advanced waterproof and breathable outerwear system in the game
Quiet, single layer fabric
Waterproof membrane and sealed seams provide over 6 hours of protection

NanoSphere® – it’s naturally self-cleaning. Splashes and annoying stains don’t have a chance: ketchup, honey, coffee, red wine, oil, grease and water run of the nano-surface – even after numerous washes
"c_change: The Bionic Climate Membrane"
What’s going on with the membrane during cold weather or low activity (when not sweating)? The polymer structure condenses, thus providing better insulation. High level of heat retention and moisture vapor permeability combine to create a pleasant body climate. Wind and waterproof.
What’s going on with the membrane during warm weather or high activity (when sweating)? The polymer structure opens up and becomes extremely moisture vapor permeable. Excess body heat and moisture can escape to the outside air. Wind and waterproof.
The inside facing of the Tour Stretch fabric features a moisture management property that wicks moisture from inside the garment and expels it through the membrane of the fabric.
