TM thermoregulating leather incorporates Smart Fabric TechnologyTM
by Outlast, a microencapsulated Phase Change Materials (mPCM's)
originally developed for NASA. This perpetual technology is based
upon mPCM’s, called “Thermocules®”, which have
a range of melting and crystallisation (i.e. freezing) points. Click here for more information

As
a result of increasing consumer demand, Packer Leather has recently
developed MicrobloK, an innovative anti-microbial treatment for
our leather products. The technology uses state of the art, sophisticated
inorganic chemistry to kill bacteria (and prevent leather deterioration)
without unwanted toxicity. Click here for more information
Packer Leather have developed the ‘Phoenix’ technology to create fire and thermal retardant leathers, which has been specifically designed for our range of kangaroo, bovine and goatskin products. Click here for more information
