What we seal

  • Wet weather parkas
  • Wet weather trousers
  • Bivy covers and sleep systems
  • Moisture barrier liners
  • Laminate and membrane fabrics
  • Integrated with in-house cut, sew, and inspection

Why it matters

A waterproof fabric is only as waterproof as its seams. Every needle penetration is a path for water, so a garment built from a laminate or membrane shell is still water-permeable until the seams are taped.

Seam sealing applies heat-activated tape over the stitch line under controlled temperature and pressure, closing those paths. Done correctly it produces a genuinely waterproof system; done poorly it delaminates in the field.

Because Excel runs cutting, sewing, sealing, and inspection under one roof, sealed programs don’t ship out to a third party and back. Fewer handoffs, tighter control, shorter lead times.
