How does Bersica Futurewear work?
 
We use a new finishing technology on our fabrics which provides a natural self-cleaning effect and an extremely high level of liquid and dirt repellence. It is based on nanotechnology. By using nanotechnology it becomes possible to transfer the non-stick and self-cleaning process of certain plants or insects observed in nature onto our fabrics.
