Weathertech becomes Purishade®

The new name expresses the renewed sustainable vocation of our best waterproof fabric for sail shades!

For this reason we decided to choose a name that expressed its "green" vocation and to call it Purishade®.

How was the Weathertech fabric born and what was its evolution?

In 2020, after 3 years of research, Weathertech was born, the revolutionary waterproof fabric for shading sails developed exclusively by Maanta.

During 2021 we have further improved our proven fabric.

Purishade® fabric retains all the properties of Weathertech fabric:

• Respect for the environment (polypropylene fibers, with an extremely favorable HIGG sustainability index)
• Mechanical properties (very high resistance to abrasion, tensile strength and stress)
• Correct mix between waterproofness and breathability
• Color persistence, mold resistance
