Hipora® Hipora® is a waterproof and breathable me
mbrane used for gloves. It keeps your hands dry and comfortable. Hipora® is a trademark of Kolon Industries. LYCRA® T400® LYCRA® T400® fibre provides excellent performance and aesthetics in applications that require low to moderate stretch. It’s a multicomponent yarn in which different polymers are joined together within each filament. When exposed to heat, each polymer shrinks to a different degree, producing a smooth helical crimp. Because the crimp is not mech-anically induced, the stretch and recovery of LYCRA® T400® fibre is greater and more durable than those of textured yarns. 18% of the polymer is made using renewable plantbased material for a more sustainable lifestyle. OEKO-TEX® The OEKO-TEX® label indicates the additional benefits of tested safety for skin-friendly clothing and other textiles. The International OEKO-TEX® Association is an independent test institute, testing textiles for harmful substances according to OEKOTEX® Standard 100 for textile products of all types which pose no risk whatsoever to health. Polartec® Fleece Series In 1981, Polartec® became the first to knit, nap, and shear synthetic yarns into thermal fabric for outdoor apparel. The Polartec® synthetic fleece fibres were engineered for more versatile durability. With greater resiliency, lightweight warmth and fast drying times, Polartec® fleece remains the industry standard for outerwear performance. Polartec® fleece comes in Micro, 100, 200 and 300 weights. Polartec® Power Stretch® Polartec® Power Stretch® is a performance-fit fabric platform that raises the bar for stretch fabric capabilities. Advanced dual-surface knit construction gives Power Stretch® enough tensile strength for durable shape recovery. Performance wicking abilities mean it keeps up with any activity. REPREVE® As part of our continuous sustainability work, we have upgraded some of our styles with REPREVE®, the world’s number-one brand of recycled performance fibre. In order to make sustainable claims reliable, the REPREVE® fabric is verifiable through the U-Trust® Verification program. This means the fibre contains the unique FiberPrint® tracer technology and the fabric is analysed to validate REPREVE® content claims and composition. Schoeller® Schoeller® is an elastic wind- and water-repellent softshell fabric that makes for the perfect companion for all your outdoor activities. Different bonded layers of elastic fabric ensure maximum function and are extremely comfortable to wear. No matter what you love to do, Schoeller® is with you all the way, guaranteeing effective weather protection and maximum freedom of movement. Sorona® The Sorona® fibre offers environmental benefits and great performance. Sorona® has a unique PTT molecular structure designed for maximising performance and provides stretch without spandex. 37% of the polymer is made using renewable plant-based material for a more sustainable lifestyle. The fibre is an eco-efficient performance fibre that also offers exceptional softness and a rich feel for day-in, day-out comfort. Garments featuring the Sorona® fibre retain their shape and resist bagging for maximum comfort on the move. Thinsulate™ Thinsulate™ insulation has very high insulation properties compare to its weight. The fine fibres that make up Thinsulate™ insulation, work by trapping air molecules between you and the outside. The more air a material traps in a given space‚ the better it insulates you from the cold outside air. Thinsulate™ is breathable, moistresistant and machine washable. Thinsulate™ is a trademark of 3M™. MATERIAL AND CO-BRANDS 205
