Q: How does the Osmotex system work?
A: The Osmotex panel moves moisture through membranes using a process called electro osmosis. The panel is powered by a Skiin Pod, which connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth. The Osmotex app allows you to control the system to optimize user comfort.
Q: How do you charge the Osmotex system?
A: To charge the system, remove the Skiin pod from the panel and place it in the charging dock. A full charge will take approximately two hours.
Q: What is the technology behind Osmotex?
A: Our technology is an electronically driven “textile pump”, a textile fabric with a membrane which can dry itself and remove moisture from the inside of the garment, to make the wearer comfortable and dry.
Q: How do Osmotex fabrics differ from ordinary membrane fabrics like Gore-Tex?
A: Unlike passive membranes, which rely on humidity differences between the textile and its environment for moisture transport, Osmotex utilizes a small electric current to drive this process.
Q: Why is electronically controlled moisture transport superior to passive membranes?
A: Osmotex can transport moisture up to 100 times faster than passive membranes. Additionally, unlike passive membranes, the performance of Osmotex fabric is independent of environmental moisture conditions.
Q: What benefits does Osmotex provide to users?
A: The Osmotex system brings a new level of climatization in garments, with enhanced comfort, performance and safety:
- Comfort: Reduces accumulated condensation to improve thermal comfort and staying dry.
- Performance: Osmotex leads to enhanced performance by letting the body’s cooling system work unhindered.
- Safety: The enhanced heat control leads to improved protection from hypo- and hyperthermia in extreme conditions.
