The new product range in the NEW EvoTX4 and EvoTX 500D fabrics are rolling off the production line in our factory in Cornwall, UK as I type.
So, why are we so excited about these products, and this fabric?
Let's start with the fabric, because to be honest it's the backbone to this new range's awesomeness.
New - Nookie EvoTX4 - 4ply Fabric
Designed specifically for the new Nookie drywear range, EvoTX4 from Nookie has been developed and tested with the sole focus on perfomance. Proven to be tough for professional and expedition use, with quick drying properties and a flexible feel that is comfortable wear.

This fabric has already been around the World. Our dedicated team riders have taken it to the four corners to give it a beating and have fed-back to our in-house design and development team to make sure this is the best fabric for the job.

The layers have been developed in this fabric to offer you the best protection when wearing it. The face fabric is a flexible Nylon weave and the outer is coated in Durable Water Repellant (DWR). DWR is a coating on the exterior of the material that makes the water bead up and roll off.
We then use a double membrane to keep you dry. The hydrophobic microporus coating, as the name implies, is resistant to water. This stable layer is designed to keep the water out of your garment. This is next to a hydrophillic grey coating to encourage breathability; designed to release the trapped moisture when you are working hard (pespiring). The membranes work because they have micro-pores to prevent water penetration in but to allow vapour out. The grey coating is proven to be more durable than the traditional white coating, which is why we've chosen it for this highly technical application.
Finally, next to your skin, we have used a comfortable yet durable 20D Tricot mesh. This offers flexibility of movement as well as encouraging the wicking of the vapour across the garment to keep you dry and comfortable.

New - Nookie EvoTX 500D - Reinforced 4ply Fabric
Designed to compliment EvoTX4, the EvoTX 500D is even tougher. The 500D Nylon constuction is like Cordura but with the added benefit it is waterproof and breathable. The dense weave protects all high wear areas, such as the seat, knees and cuffs in a garment, without extra bulk.

This incredible fabric features all the same layers as the EvoTX4 described above, with the exception of the face fabric. This is beefed up from 160D to 500D weave to offer you more protection where you need it.
It still offers fantastic waterproof and breathability figures, so there's no compromise in the garment you're wearing.
