Technologies

Designed to enhance your outdoor experience.

Tenson's proprietary technologies
To deliver the best performing (and most sustainable) outdoor and adventure clothing for all conditions, Tenson regularly draws on decades of advanced technologies and also integrates the latest technologies from “ingredient brands” (e.g. fabrics, applications, coatings, etc.) from around the world. We strive to keep you updated here on just some of our most notable technologies.

Waterproof.
Windproof.
Breathable.
= MPC™.

Proprietary Tenson laminate that supports your endless journey of adventure in all conditions.

Tensons MPC Technology: Developed to resist wind and water since the early 1980s, keeping you dry and comfortable no matter what weather Mother Nature throws at you.

The MPC laminate makes rainwater run off the garment. At the same time, condensation/moisture coming from the body is transported into and through the garment. In other words, MPC allows the garment to "breathe", so it feels comfortable to wear, even during demanding activity. Our MPC garments are also taped at the seams to provide extra wind and waterproofness.

Tenson MPC has four performance grades - MPC Extreme X™, MPC Extreme™, MPC Plus™ and MPC™:

AirPush™

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A LIGHTWEIGHT, SMOOTH, SUPER STRONG, QUICK-DRYING FABRIC THAT CAN HANDLE ANY CONDITION? LOOK NO FURTHER.

In 1984, Tenson launched - and continues to develop and upgrade - its proprietary AirPush™, a microfiber technology focused on improving breathability. The AirPush™ properties are made possible by the fabric's high density (+30% higher than conventional fabrics), which has microscopic fibers on the fabric's surface that prevent water from penetrating the outer surface of the garment, while the fine pores allow internal moisture to be quickly transported away.

The effect: a super-light and soft garment that provides maximum freedom of movement and protection in cold weather, and is suitable for strenuous activities that require maximum comfort and breathability, as well as wind and water repellent properties.

AirPush™ insulation

A DOWN-LIKE SYNTHETIC LOOSE FIBRE FILLING THAT PROVIDES VAPOR MANAGEMENT WHILE PRESERVING WARMTH... EVEN WHEN WET.

Tensons AirPush™ Insulate offers lightweight, bulky insulation for cold weather conditions. The featherless padding is designed to provide excellent breathability, moisture transport and movement, making it ideal for the super active outdoor enthusiast and adventurer.

EcoTrekk™.

OUR COMFORTABLE AND EXTREMELY DURABLE ORGANIC COTTON AND RECYCLED POLYESTER FABRIC.

A durable, soft cotton fabric that is breathable and windproof. If you take good care of your Tenson EcoTrekk™ clothing, it will last for generations to come. Wax it to maintain its water-repellent properties - keeping you dry and comfortable on your adventures.

BIONIC FINISH® ECO

BIONIC FINISH® ECO, used on many of Tenson's all-weather garments, is an organic water-repellent impregnation that helps to weatherproof our garments. It is based on a fluorine-free formula that improves the water and dirt repellency of our garments while maintaining breathability. It also helps Tenson's garments retain their colors, keeping our fabrics looking new for longer.
