IGX Technology Explained

You may have looked at our Arc Extreme Hybrid series and wondered, "what exactly is IGX Technology?" Well, the name comes from Ingress and Gravitational Stoppage, where the garment design and material minimize the seams and openings that are exposed to direct hits from the rain coming down onto you. More seam protection equals more water being directed off of your shoulders, head, and arms.  That's why seams are moved away from the top of the jacket and protected with sealing tape inside.

The diagram shown below illustrates how the fabric's Durable Water Repellent Finish keeps water and wind out, and also keeps you warm while getting rid of body moisture inside. This material coupled with advanced design and craftsmanship make our Arc Extreme Hybrid rainwear the best yet!

Retroreflection

So how exactly does high-visibility reflective tape work? The answer lies in retroreflection. This sort of technology has many real-world (and even on the Moon!) applications; learn about it here! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroreflector

Take a Look!

Remember, NSA does way more than arc protection! Check out our product lines for high heat exposure (http://bit.ly/ytAE8F), cut protection (http://bit.ly/yvoD1A), and cryogenics (http://bit.ly/3xrD15).

The Winter of Warmth

Are you experiencing a milder than usual winter? We are too. Not to worry, though; NSA has plenty of items to keep you at just the right temperature. Check out our new Legacy Field Coat, as well as our wide range of FR sweatshirts! And if winter decides to come around late, we'll be ready for that, too.
