Membrane coating provides a water resistant material on the outside with a good vapor resistance from within. The membrane contains 1.5 thousand microscopic pores in 1 cm?. Pore ​​size of 10 thousand times smaller than the drops of water and 500 times more water vapor molecules. Because of this, the outside moisture from seeping inside my underwear, and water vapor from space pododezhnogo easily gets out, that is, the material can «breathe» the human body.
