Kushitani Logo Explanation

Schoeller Dynamic

The original development of dynamic resulted from the search for a fabric, which could be used both for the Skisport and for mountain-climbing. A combination of high-quality High Tech fibers made this Allround insert possible, because dynamic fabrics bring along the functionality, which are demanded by modern and sport clothing: high elasticity, robustness, climatic control and a high stretch comfort. A variant of the schoeller® dynamic fabrics are the “extreme” - qualities. They are characterised additionally by a high abrasion resistance, which is reached by the processing of a special Cordura® fiber. Because unusual conditions demand extreme functionality.

	Coolmax
With Coolmax® DuPont developed a fiber, which has it in itself. Because of their special cross section, by which the fiber surface is larger about 25% than with usual fibers, Coolmax® is far better in things moisture transport than comparable nylon or cotton materials. Humidity on the skin is transported immediately away from the body in the fabric.

K-Foam

Extraordinarily, comfortable and very special protector. The K-Foam protector rates in the CE-Norm test a value of 19.6kN, which they draw the line at 35kN! Even when you double the increase energy, the value can’t get higher then the pronounced CE-Norm. This protection is been attached with the “HIPROTEC SNAP SYSTEM”, which makes it possible that to make the protector just the way the client wants to.

Schoeller Keprotec

This particularly high-quality fabric was developed more than fifteen years ago for motorcycle racing clothing. One researched after a fabric, which has just the same high protective functions as leathers, but which offers aa higher stretch comfort and more freedom of movement. By the use of high-strength aramide fibers, which have very high ultimate tensile strength and high temperature stability, in combination with special polyamide fibers it succeeded to develop Schoeller®, a fabric, which fulfilled the high requirements. It is for years the most sophisticated protection fabric, which is used in these markets.

GORE-TEX® XCR®

The climate changes, which rise average temperatures, hot summers becomes ever more frequently. And nevertheless nothing remains as incalculably as the weather. Motor riders know to sing a song about it: First with heat sweating in the combination, then dripping wet and cooled down of the sudden thunderstorm casting and cooling break-down. To be surely protected from all temperature differences and weather changes, seemed almost unsolvable task for the manufacturers of motorcycle clothing, until know. The specialist of GORE found a solution: The new GORE TEX® XCR® motorcycle clothing guarantees particularly in the warm season substantially more comfort and well-being as well as perfect enclosure by a new, very breathe-active, durably wind and waterproof GORE TEX® XCR® diaphragm technology to all motorcycle fans. The completely new developed, patterned 3-layer GORE-TEX® XCR® laminate, offers with temperatures between the 10 and 30 degrees always the perfect well-being feeling climate and a perfect long-lasting protection against any kind of weather. With this technology and the optimal material tuning it succeeded to the GORE developers to increase the breathing activity opposite the clothing 3-Lyer-Laminaten used so far by 25 percent. Additionally the new laminate provides for a substantially shorter drying time. This means that the body fluid which is produced, is been transported outside, twice as fast. The driver does not sweat therefore less, feels however substantially less humidity on the skin and feels therefore also at hot temperatures simply better. It remains more efficient, which increases finally also its active security. For high passive security the durable, 3-Layer construction with high-quality external materials provides such as Cordura, kevlar or leathers, which exhibit all very high abrasion values. Additionally these upper materials are equipped with a special impregnation. So the clothing can take up no humidity and remains always pleasantly easy thereby.

Armacor

GORE TEX® ARMACOR®. That is the new, patented 3-Layer-Laminat in the singular “core coat structure”. A “fibber coat” from resistant to friction, UVstable PP encloses the “fibber core” from extremely tear-firm and temperature-steady Aramid. This gives you an extreme strong fibber. In addition still more comfort comes in warm weather through optimized mixes from wind tightness and small isolation and still more protection from cooling down in wet weather by optimal mixes from waterproof and small moisture absorption.

Cordura

The extreme firmness, the durability and the pleasant stretch comfort of Cordura® fabrics made a new generation of motorcycle clothing possible. Nevertheless clothing, which are to carry clearly more easily, more comfortably and be maintained more simply than motorcycle clothing from leather, and abrasion characteristics exhibit, which the motor rider of genuine function clothing expects. Large success let the family of the Cordura® materials increase always further, and there are in the meantime specific Cordura® qualities for many diverse requirements

	Thermolite Active
Thermolite start the proof that the principle helps „the thicker, the warmer “is not important anymore. The light isolation fabric, for 80% made of recycled polyester, gives you, despite it’s light weight, good isolation. Even when its humidity and during a long stretcher period. Depending upon operational area we use thereby the two variants Thermolite Active or Thermolite plus.

GORE-TEX®

The principal of al the membranes is the fact that water can’t get in, but water vapour (sweat, body humidity) can escape. The more vapour can escape, the better the comfort. The GORE TEX® diaphragm has 1.4 billion pores on only one square centimeter, by which the water vapour can withdraw. The GORE TEX® combination of high waterproof and high steam permeability is in many independent tests for years the recognized yardstick for meanwhile obscure the number of diaphragm offerers, become. The breath-thin polytetrafluorethylene foil (ptfe foil) is comparable by the strength (0.02 mm) ago with normal fresh retaining foil. Otherwise it is however a High Tech product, which is processed among other things also in the medical technology, in space or for industrial filters. These areas of application raise all-highest requirements at quality and function. A singular, interlaced control system, which includes each production step, guarantees that you buy qualitatively high-quality, long-lived products with outstanding function.

	Teflon
You might heard of the name Teflon® especially in combination with everything that may not adhere. With fabrics Teflon® is used as invisible casing of yarns. Clothes with this are waterproof and dirt resistant. For you that has the advantage that your clothing don’t absorb rain less and that the care expenditure reduces to a minimum

Schoeller Dynatec

schoeller® dynatec is a protection fabric, which was developed particularly for motorcycle riders. In case of a fall it must offer to protection for the skin, in order to avoid bad scratches. Those are requirements, which were fulfilled so far only from good leather and protective clothing schoeller® keprotec®. Dynatec Schoeller, created 1993, now a further material, which offers far higher protective functions compared with many conventional fabrics, combined with stretcher characteristics, which become fair highest requirements for comfort.

	Thermolite
Thermolite start the proof that the principle helps „the thicker, the warmer “is not important anymore. The light isolation fabric, for 80% made of recycled polyester, gives you, despite it’s light weight, good isolation. Even when its humidity and during a long stretcher period. Depending upon operational area we use thereby the two variants Thermolite Active or Thermolite plus.

Reflectie 3M

In the dusk and the dark, 3M ScotchliteTM improves the visibility of the motor-driver. ScotchliteTM reflecting- material has an open structure with a unique reflecting qualities, thanks to katadoptrisch () crystals. Either, Scrotchlite reflects even with an indirect incidence. Other reflecting material need a direct light to reflect. Silver Scotchlite exceeds even the highest European requirements for stimulation in bad weather.

Schoeller Dynamic Extreme
