2011/2012 Performance Standards

Infidry® by 686:
Our EXCLUSIVE microporous, waterproof/breathable coating and laminating process. Microporous means that moisture from your body's perspiration is allowed to exit while preventing additional moisture from the elements to enter, thus staying dry and warm from the inside. Microporous coatings are polyurethane mixtures applied with high pressure to the back side of the shell fabric. The fabric goes through a three-step waterproofing process to ensure it stays soft and supple. These processes also produce added durability, heavier weight and softer drape. The higher the waterproof rating, the more precipitation the fabric can block from crossing into the barrier; thus keeping you drier for longer. The higher the moisture vapor transport rating, the more body steam passes through the fabric to exit outside, which keeps you cooler for longer. Here is a summary of our rating system by category:

INFIDRY®-20
20,000mm water permeability
15,000gm moisture vapor transport

PLEXUS, SMARTY MEN'S 20K: Encompasses our best weather protection for blizzard-like conditions and varying temperature ranges.

INFIDRY®-15
15,000mm water permeability
10,000gm moisture vapor transport

PLEXUS, SMARTY 15K: Provides excellent weather protection for blizzard-like conditions and varying temperature ranges.

INFIDRY®-10
10,000mm water permeability
8,000gm moisture vapor transport

PLEXUS, SMARTY 10K, RESERVED, MANNUAL 10K, LIMITED EDITION FALLEN AND SIGNATURE LV: Gives great weather protection during winter conditions.

INFIDRY®-8
8,000mm water permeability

PLEXUS, YOUTH SMARTY, MANNUAL, LIMITED EDITION SNAGGLETOOTH: Offers good weather protection for most winter conditions.

INFIDRY®-5
5,000mm water permeability
5,000gm moisture vapor transport

INFI-LOFTT
RESERVED: A premium down-alternative performance insulation engineered for maximum warmth, loft and softness. INFI-LOFTTM insulation keeps the body warm, dry and comfortable, even in foul winter conditions.

DUPONT® DWR (DURABLE WATER REPELLENT)
600mm water permeability
Used on all 686 outerwear fabrications, DWR is the last finish applied on the shell fabric surface. It enables the fabric to shed water, preventing saturation and enhancing the coating or laminate beneath the fabric. DWR also helps re- pel stains and oils on the surface which can impede the fabrics "breathability".

BEMIS® TAPED SEAMS
All seams are specially taped with Bemis® branded seam taping to further insure quality workmanship and guaranteed waterproofness.

AVALANCHE RESCUE SYSTEM
Used on specific PLEXUS and MEN'S SMARTY garments, RECCO® is an ava- lanche rescue system utilized by more than 600 rescue organizations worldwide to assist in the efficient location of burials. RECCO technology enables rapid directional pinpointing of a victim's precise location using harmonic radar.

2011/2012 Thermal Ratings™

NOTE: Thermal Ratings (TR) ranges (4-10) are based on general conditions of the environment. Weather chang- es, additional insulation/layering added or subtracted, body mass, body chemistry, and/or riding experience may affect the overall comfort and performance of the product in any temperature. Make sure you are aware of all conditions and select the appropriate gear before you head out to shred.
