Some surfaces push water away.
Watch a duck on a pond, and you will see water rolling off its back like mercury. All plants and animals use water-repellent substances in one way or another to push water to where they want it. They combine water repellent natural waxes and oils with a structure of fibres or hairs to direct the water. We use the PUSH technique in our Parameta P lining and Nikwax Fleece. The special structures of both fabrics filter water through the fabric in one direction only, away from the body.
