ISPO Winter Review

03 September 2008

HI-TEC were showing off their new Ion Mask technology, their membrane free, environmentally sound method of waterproofing which works on a molecular level. Frankly it was amazing. With the technology on the stand, a piece of kitchen roll was treated with Ion Mask; you've not seen technology at work until you've seen a piece of kitchen roll submerged in a fish tank and pulled out dry. The machine that treats the subject apparently needs calibration according to whatever's being treated, so we could only see the kitchen roll being done, however a pre-treated silk tie got the same treatment is amazing.
