  3. outdry Disruptive innovation in waterproof footwear and gloves OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  4. over 25 years ago, Bootie systEM has been introduced as waterproof lining system. Since then, no substantial improvements. The bootie is a sock-shaped lining, made of membrane, seam-sealed by tape 1983 The bootie is separated from the upper leaving a gap in between. OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  5. IN FOOTWEAR AND GLOVES, WATERPROOFING TECHNOLOGY HAS NOT EVOLVED AS IN CLOTHING  Z-Liner (inter-lining) evolution 2 and 3-Layer fabrics  none evolution BootieLining  Insert none evolution OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  6. … About shoes with bootie system “In rainy weather my shoes gets damp, heavy and takes so long time to dry!”. Cause: water gets easily in the space between the upper and the bootie. CONSUMERS COMPLAIN… “It’s dry outside but my feet are hot and humid!” Cause: the membrane is tightly in contact with the foot and there is no air ventilation around it.

  7. 2011 breakthrough OutDry: a revolutionary approach to the use of waterproof-breathable membranes in footwear and gloves construction OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  9. 3d laminationtechnology KEY POINTS: Bootie OutDry Seams Seamless Tape Tapeless Thick Thin Stiff Elastic Bulk Fit Heavy Light Flat 3D vs. OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  10. OutDry: the membrane is part of the upper CONSTRUCTION MAKES THE DIFFERENCE  Bootie: the membrane is part of the lining and separated from the upper  OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  11. OUTDRY MEMBRANE 100X ENLARGEMENT OF A MEMBRANE LAMINATED UPPER SECTION OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  12. High performance MEMBRANE • Multi-layer structure: protective PES knit + PU membrane (30µm thickness)+ hot-melt adhesive mesh • High elasticity (>200% ) and high tensile strength • Waterproofness >10.000 mm H20 (ISO EN 20811) • Water Vapor Permeability > 7 mg/(cm².h) (SATRA TM 47) > 20.000 g/m².24hrs (JIS L 1099 B-1) • > 2.0 mg/(cm².h) (EN 20344:2005 – 6.6) OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  13. OutDry membrane-set • OutDry membrane-sets are pre-cut according to upper design and welded along the front and heel connecting lines (no seams, no tape) • OutDry membrane sets are made ready for use in the OutDry 3D Lamination Machine OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  14. Outdry 3d lamination machine • Derivated from the Aerospace industry (diaphragm forming) • Upper and membrane are sandwiched between 2 silicon diaphragms capable of 8.000 Kg pressure each • Two formers are operated in alternate way for high productivity (1 pair/minute) • PLC controlled to ensure high quality output OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  15. OUTDRY PROCESS STEPS - UPPER The ‘former’ is designed according to upper shape and can fit several sizes and styles by a pneumatic extension device The upper is turned inside-out and positioned on the former The membrane-set is placed on the upperm, the hot-melt mesh layer towards the upper inner surface => => OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  16. OutDry process STEPS - LAMINATION • The upper is launched inside the lamination chamber where membrane is pressed and heated against the upper for about 15 seconds • The glue mesh melts achieving a complete adhesion of the membrane to the upper inner face. • Lamination is completed, upper and membrane are now a unique body OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  18. ADVANTAGES 1. Seamlessly Waterproof 2. Lightweight 3. Superior Comfort 4. Increased insulation efficiency 5. Perfect Fit OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  19. OUTDRY PERFORMANCE STANDARD PERFORMANCE, COMFORT AND DURABILITY ARE GUARANTEED TO THE FINAL CONSUMER BY SEVERE TEST STANDARD Requirements for all categories: ► Flex Test (SATRA TM 77) 50.000 cycles with no penetration and weight increase < 10% ► Centrifuge Test (OS – 05 ; SATRA TM under validation) 10 min without any penetration and weight increase < 10% ► Whole Shoe WVP (SATRA TM47) evaporated loss > 7 mg/(cm².h) OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  20. LABORATORY TESTS PROOFS Centrifuge and Cold rating comparisons of 2 sample boots at SATRA – 03/2012:Sample A: Bootie construction vs Sample B:OutDry construction OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  21. LABORATORY TESTS PROOFS Centrifuge and Cold rating comparisons of 2 sample boots at SATRA – 03/2012:Sample A: Bootie construction vs Sample B:OutDry construction STM 567 OutDry Technologies property - Confidential

  22. LABORATORY TESTS PROOFS Centrifuge and Cold rating comparisons of 2 sample boots at SATRA – 03/2012:Sample A: Bootie construction vs Sample B:OutDry construction SATRA conclusion: “The increase in weight is due to the absorption of water into the upper of the sample, where Sample A absorbs a far greater amount than Sample B.As a result of this, the wet boot R-values and cold rating values recorded for Sample A are very poor compared to the dry values seen, indicating that this sample becomes thermally compromised with the introduction of water.The foot would feel more comfortable in Sample B rather than Sample A when wet”.
