      WATERPROOF

      BARRIER CT™ fabrics undergo rigorous testing to simulate the harshest conditions. We measure waterproofness by subjecting the fabric to intense water pressure, ensuring it maintains integrity of minimally 20,000mm without any signs of leakage. This ensures Barrier™ meets and exceeds industry standards for long-lasting protection.

      BREATHABLE

      Comfort is key. BARRIER CT™ undergoes rigorous tests for Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) and Resistance to Evaporative Heat Transfer (RET), ensuring optimal breathability even after extended use. This promotes comfort and performance in diverse climates.

      WINDPROOF

      BARRIER CT™ fabrics are rigorously tested to withstand prolonged exposure to harsh winds. Through extensive wind pressure testing, we ensure the fabric maintains its integrity in challenging outdoor environments. This rigorous process guarantees that Barrier™ exceeds industry standards for reliable windproof performance, offering steadfast protection wherever your adventures take you.

      What is neoprene?

      Neoprene is a flexible, high-performance, and water-resistant synthetic materialknown for its durability and comfort. In StrideOn products, it acts like a lightweight, scuba-like fabric that’s built to move with you — whether you're commuting, traveling, or exploring the city.

      Why does StrideOn use neoprene in its products?

      We chose neoprene for its unique combination of strength, flexibility, and style. It’s water-resistant, easy to clean, and offers excellent shock absorption and cushioning, which helps protect your belongings and keeps you comfortable during long days on the go. Plus, its sleek, smooth texture gives StrideOn designs a sporty yet chic aesthetic.

      Is neoprene waterproof?

      Neoprene is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light moisture and spills, making it ideal for everyday use in unpredictable weather or urban environments. While it’s not fully submersible like a wetsuit, it performs exceptionally well against rain splashes, light rain, and accidental spills.

      Is neoprene easy to clean?

      Yes — one of the best things about neoprene is how low-maintenanceit is. Most dirt, dust, or light stains can be wiped away easily with a damp cloth and mild soap. Its smooth surface resists absorbing liquids, which helps it stay looking clean and fresh with minimal effort.

      Does neoprene provide padding or protection for my belongings?

      Absolutely. Neoprene has natural shock-absorbing and cushioning properties, which help protect your items inside StrideOn bags or cases. Whether it’s your laptop, tablet, or daily essentials, neoprene-lined compartments offer a soft yet secure fit that helps prevent bumps and scratches.

      How does neoprene feel to the touch / against my skin?

      Neoprene has a smooth, soft, and slightly luxe feelto it. It’s not rough or scratchy — instead, it offers a comfortable, flexible feel against your skin (in items like straps or inner linings) and gives StrideOn products a modern, athletic-meets-fashionable edge.

      Do StrideOn shoes with neoprene or other materials provide arch support?

      Yes, many StrideOn shoes, including those that may incorporate neoprene or other high-performance materials, are designed with ergonomic footbeds that offer excellent arch support. We understand the importance of proper foot alignment, especially for those who spend long hours on their feet or have specific comfort needs.

      Our arch support featureshelp distribute weight evenly, reduce foot fatigue, and promote natural posture. Whether you're managing plantar fasciitis, standing all day, or simply looking for all-day comfort, our shoes are engineered to provide the stability and cushioning your arches need. For specific support levels, please refer to the product description or consult our customer service team to find the best match for your foot type.
