How We Made This

Our Factories

At Mishmi Takin, we believe that high quality, durable products are better for both the planet and the pocket book and that the road to great products begins with better raw materials.

Hard Shell Factory

eVent (Est 1998), Lee's Summit, Missouri, USA -http://www.eventfabrics.com/technology

Mishmi Takin is focused on superior breathability and comfort even in conditions where other's don't breath. That led us to eVent. The critical difference between eVent's technology and traditional waterproof/breathable fabrics is the billions of microscopic pores built in the membrane that work instantly to vent water vapor (sweat) that builds up inside your apparel and footwear when you perform. This "Direct Venting™ technology does not need to get wet to work. It’s a 'dry system' that keeps you dry and comfortable in the widest range of temperatures and conditions. eVent waterproof membrane is Made in USA and then shipped to Shinhan Industries in South Korea. Shinhan produces the nylon face fabric and laminates the waterproof membrane with the face fabric to produce the final fabric.
