What is Welded Shell?
Seamless construction, known as welded shell, is a revolutionary technique used to create waterproof and breathable outdoor apparel and gear.
This method involves fusing layers of fabric together using heat and pressure, which creates a single, continuous piece of material with no seams or weak spots. This technique eliminates the need for traditional sewing and seam sealing methods, which can create weak spots in the fabric where water can seep through.
Welded shell fabrics are often made from synthetic materials like nylon or polyester, which are then coated with a waterproof and breathable membrane or laminate. The layers are bonded together using high heat and pressure to create a material that is not only strong and durable but also lightweight and streamlined and can withstand harsh weather conditions.
This cutting-edge technology has become popular in high-performance outdoor apparel and gear because it provides both waterproofing and breathability without the need for traditional sewing and seam-sealing methods. This reduces the weight of the final product and increases comfort, as there are no seams that could potentially rub against the skin reducing the risk of chafing and irritation.
Welded Shell is revolutionizing the outdoor apparel and gear industry, offering a new way to create products that are lighter, more comfortable, and more durable. With this technology, manufacturers can create outdoor gear that performs better than ever before, even in the harshest weather conditions.
