Technologies. 

DEVELOPED TO IMPROVE YOUR OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE.


To deliver the best-performing (and most sustainable), all-conditions outdoor and adventure garments, Tenson regularly draws upon decades of its propriety technologies and also integrates the latest technologies from “ingredient brands” (e.g., fabrics, appliques, coatings, etc.) from all over the world. We aim to keep you current here on just some of our most notable technologies.

PROPRIETARY TENSON LAMINATE TO SUPPORT YOUR
NEVER-ENDING VOYAGE OF ALL-CONDITIONS ADVENTURES

Tenson’s MPC technology: developed to withstand wind and water since the early 1980’s keeping you dry and comfortable no matter what weather mother nature might throw at you.

The MPC laminate causes the rainwater to drain off the garment. At the same time, the condensation / moisture that comes 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 also are taped at seams to add additional wind- and waterproof protection.

Tenson MPC features three performance grades - MPC Extreme, MPC Plus and MPC:

BIONIC FINISH® ECO.

Applied to many of Tenson’s all-conditions garments, BIONIC FINISH® ECOis an ecological water-repellent impregnation to help weatherproof our gear. It is based on a fluorine-free recipe that improves the water- and soil-repellency of our garments, while maintaining breathability attributes. It also helps Tenson garments to keep their colours, making our fabrics looking new, longer. Find out more: www.bionic-finish.com
