The Undercover Fall/Winter Collection is unique not only in its space age-inspired and modern pieces; the fabric used in many of the Collection's pieces is incredibly forward thinking in its ability to provide complete comfort. Many of the coats and jackets throughout the collection are made with Diaplex, an intelligent fabric that reacts the the body's temperature.
DiAPLEX - What's So Intelligent?
Micro-Brownian Movement-The intelligence of DiAPLEX lies in the unique way in which it takes advantage of Micro-Brownian motion (thermal vibration). Micro-Brownian motion occurs within the DiAPLEX membrane when the temperature rises above a predetermined activation point. As a result of this motion, micro-pores are created in the polymer membrane which allow water vapor and body heat to escape. Because permeability increases as the temperature rises, the membrane is able to respond intelligently to changes in the wearer's environment and body temperature.
Ambient Temperature Response Function-DiAPLEX is also unique in that the temperature at which Micro-Brownian motion begins can be freely specified. This means that the activation point can be set to match the environmental conditions in which a garment is likely to be worn. For everything from heavy duty cold weather gear to lightweight sportswear, DiAPLEX can provide an ideal combination of thermal insulation and vapor permeability.
