Cohesive × Technical shell
Cohesive for technical shells.
Bulky seam tape interrupts a clean technical aesthetic and adds weight. DSEAMS bonded seams deliver a uniform composite barrier with ultra-clean interior and exterior surfaces.
Engineered for technical shell.
Minimalist hard-shell and soft-shell jackets where every gram, seam and silhouette is engineered.
For decades, performance textiles and membrane technologies have developed considerably — yet construction techniques have not changed in over 50 years. Seams are traditionally sewn, puncturing the barrier membrane, which is then seam-taped to ‘patch-up’ the problem.
Cohesive “CIBS” replaces stitching and seam-taping with seamless, ultra-durable seams using an innovative inline lamination process that bonds membrane-film to membrane-film. The system never degrades the performance of the textile and creates a uniform composite structure across the entire product.
Benefits for technical shells.
- 01 / 03
Performance
Improved performance over seam-sealed garments and footwear. Does not deteriorate barrier membrane performance or breathability.
- 02 / 03
Aesthetic
Ultra-clean design aesthetic inside and out, without the bulk of seam tape. Enables reversible and minimalist designs.
- 03 / 03
Design flexibility
Unique construction method enables new design opportunities previously unattainable with seam-taped apparel.
In practice
High-performance jacket seams, inside and out.
A reversible jacket powered by Cohesive “CIBS” demonstrates the aesthetic flexibility of a uniform internal composite barrier.
