ABOUT ion-mask™
ion-mask™ technology is a breakthrough in surface enhancement. It works at a molecular level, binding invisibly to the surfaces of products, giving them an extraordinary ability to repel most liquids.
The benefits are as clear as the technology itself. With minimal consumption and negligible waste, ion-mask™ enhancement represents a quantum leap in footwear technology.
ion-mask™ was originally developed for military clothing designed to repel chemical agents. Hi-Tec has led the introduction of ion-mask™ in the performance footwear industry.
