Cohesive × Waterproof footwear
Cohesive for waterproof footwear.
Footwear subjects seams to flex, moisture and abrasion simultaneously. Cohesive CIBS delivers next-generation footwear protection with seams that never fail.
Engineered for waterproof footwear.
Boots and shoes using laminated or membrane constructions to deliver waterproof, breathable comfort.
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 waterproof footwear.
- 01 / 02
Performance
Improved performance over seam-sealed garments and footwear. Does not deteriorate barrier membrane performance or breathability.
- 02 / 02
Durability
Seam construction is fused at the molecular level, ensuring ultimate durability across the entire product lifecycle.
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.
