For current breathable textile membranes, moisture transport relies on humidity gradients and is, at best, limited. This inadequate lack of transport hinders the body’s ability to regulate heat through sweating, leading to discomfort, reduced performance, and in severe cases to hyperthermia or hypothermia.

The Myant Osmotex jacket addresses this issue by offering a controllable “textile pump” able to match human sweat rates and to dry itself even against heavy rain or a water column, completely independent of weather conditions. This provides a step change in moisture management for textiles and garments, enhancing the wearer’s comfort, performance and health/safety.
