OS20, a Spanish outdoor brand, has partnered with Event Fabrics, the supplier of patented air permeable and waterproof membrane technology and fabrics.
OS2O reaches outdoor enthusiasts and mountaineers in Spain through five retail stores and its online shop, specializing in apparel for mountaineers, trail runners and trekkers.
“We’re excited to welcome OS2O,” said Chad Kelly, Global Product Manager for eVent fabrics. “OS2O will bring our technical performance story directly to Spanish consumers and help convey the benefits of eVent. We expect that Spanish climbers and mountain enthusiasts will feel and appreciate eVent’s air permeable difference.”
OS2O’s new 300-gram Breathout Waterproof Jacket uses Event’s DValpine waterproof and air permeable membrane, configured in a light 3-layer laminate. The fabric has a waterproof column rating greater or equal to 20,000 millimeters and a moisture vapor transport rating (MVTR) of no less than 28,500 grams/square meter. The Breathout Waterproof Jacket features an ergonomic fit, YKK AquaGuard zippers, a helmet compatible hood, reflective logos and a one-hand hem adjustment system.
OS2O Trail Team athlete Pere Rullan was one of the athletes who tested Event. “Event fabric has been very surprising to me,” he said. Rullan, who took 3rd place at the 2015 European Skyrunning Championships and is the Spanish Trail Running Champion, found that the Breathout’s “breathability is so high that I can wear it while running without feeling wet and uncomfortable.”
Event fabrics and membranes are manufactured by Clarcor Industrial Air in collaboration with suppliers worldwide to offer a broad selection of waterproof, windproof and protective textiles to companies that create apparel, footwear, shelter and accessories for outdoor, winter sports, cycling and professional apparel brands.
