Stretch Wovens
Balance mobility, recovery, tear behavior, air permeability and surface abrasion for trousers, climbing garments and active workwear.

Outdoor and performance fabrics
Schoeller Performance Fabrics, Chosen by Use
Start with movement, climate, abrasion, moisture transfer and care. Then define fiber, construction, GSM, usable width, finish and the method that should verify the critical requirement.
Three routes into the material brief
Weather Systems
Define face construction, laminate or coating, hydrostatic-head method, moisture vapor method, seam strategy and care conditions.

Protective Textiles
Connect tensile, tear, abrasion, flame, static or visibility requirements to the applicable garment, market and complete-system boundary.

Two-column selection questions
Resolve the claim before ordering the test
A broad word such as breathable, waterproof or durable can point to several different failure modes and procedures.
Does waterproof mean the fabric or finished garment?
Hydrostatic head describes the tested specimen. Seams, closures, patterning and wear affect the finished product.
Which moisture-transfer method applies?
MVTR procedures use different environments and calculations. Record the method before comparing values.
Can abrasion cycles predict field life?
No. The named method supports comparison under stated conditions, while use, dirt, geometry and care change service behavior.
When is a color sample a bulk reference?
A lab dip or strike-off guides development. Production-lot shade and construction still require their own disposition.
Bring the activity, climate and open questions.
We will help separate tactile preferences, construction choices, verification methods and order records. A useful brief also identifies the intended sample stage, target quantity, destination market and the date by which the next material decision must be made.
