furtech
The owner of furtech is Andy Davison who has been working on furtech products for a few years now, testing and developing fabrics and designs. It all started many, many years ago when Andy was walking in the Lake District wondering why he was getting wet in his new waterproof breathable kit.
Andy studied engineering and worked at DMM as a student. While there he remembers reading about 3D weaving and he wondered about making thinner, single structure pile/pertex type garments. As an engineer he studied thermodynamics in great detail, providing some insight into condensation and evaporation.
Throughout the intervening years, expeditions throughout the world and mountain rescue experiences, his understanding of garment physics and design has evolved and deepened. furtech is the result.
Andy is now working with Coleg Sir Gar and the TTP project on garment development.
