"push-pull construction"


Explanation:
This is a English phrase coined by Goretex and they have not even translated themselves on their own French translation of their advertising copy. My suggestion is that you put quotation marks around it like the example below or you write around it like Goretex did.

WINDSTOPPER® N2S™ Fabrics : Is a product of Gore Tex
Garments made with WINDSTOPPER® N2S™ laminates are worn directly next to the skin. The special construction of the inner layer in combination with the WINDSTOPPER® membrane makes wearing an additional base layer or wind protection unnecessary.
Product description
In the inner layer, the 3-layer WINDSTOPPER® N2S™ laminate is constructed like well performing base layers. This inner layer of the new fabric is based on a ***so-called push-pull construction,*** one fibre pulling moisture away from the skin, the other pushing it towards the membrane. In addition, the WINDSTOPPER® membrane quickly passes the moisture to the outside and prevents the sweat from returning to the skin simultaneously. As a result the moisture management has improved dramatically and the skin stays dry.

WINDSTOPPER® N2S™ laminatet består av tre lager och är i det inre lagret konstruerat på samma sätt som ett högpresterande baslager. Detta inre lager är baserat på en så kallat ”***push-pull-konstruktion”***, en fiber transporterar fukt bort från huden medan en annan skjuter (push) den mot membranet.
