The Peak Performance Heli Line Six suit made with the new Gore C-Knit Backer Technology has won the Ski Category Outer at the ISPO Award 2015/2016.
The Heli Line Six suit that has a 4-puller zip system for entering and exit as well as a Boa adjustment system on hood is made from the new Gore C-Knit Backer Technology with a soft feel and a fit, designed to give the freerider maximum freedom of motion.
Gore-Tex products with Gore C-Knit Backer Technology are 100% windproof and waterproof, yet lighter and even more breathable and softer than comparable previous generation products, the company reports.
The increased breathability and softer feel is achieved through a revolutionary backer construction made of an extremely fine nylon circular knit fabric and a lamination procedure specifically engineered to complement this construction.
The unique 4-puller zip system for entering and exiting, which goes around the back and side, gives maximum front protection and ventilation options. Additional detailing include a Boa adjustment system with cohesive stoppers on hood for easy adjustability and a sleeve pocket compatible with 2-way radios.
Every year, ISPO honours the most exceptional sporting goods with the ISPO Award. A jury consisting of independent sports business professionals evaluates several hundred entries – also from non-exhibitors – following clearly defined criteria.
This premium selection presents a welcome orientation for both sports business professionals as well as end-consumers. From 5-8 February visitors at ISPO Munich 2015 will have the opportunity to find out more at the ISPO Award Exhibition.
