Citadel jacket - blue haze/red clay

Range of high-quality materials designed to maximize performance across diverse conditions. The technical outer shell is laminated with a fully waterproof and breathable membrane. The UltraTech® material manufacturers have their production processes and composition of the components assessed according to the bluesign® criteria to optimize sustainability.

Outer durable water replent C6 DWR coating repels water, causing it to “bead up” on the outer surface and stops it from penetrating the outermost layer. We are using only the C6 treatment that breaks down faster in the environment, has less potential toxicity over time to humans and wildlife.

It is made of PET resin and comprises thin compressible fibers. The space between these microfibers is filled with air that provides superior warmth and retains heat effectively even when wet. Dries fast, is very durable, with exceptional softness, outstanding breathability, and excellent recovery ability after compression.

These extremely durable, easy to use, high-quality zippers are currently the global leader for performance outerwear applications. Being smooth to operate and with less tendency to catch, or malfunction, these zippers can be easily operated even in the coldest conditions.

Coats have been manufacturing threads for over 250 years, which means their thread range results from decades of innovation and constant improvement. This results in some of the strongest, highly durable, and most reliable threads ever manufactured.

This product is packaged in biodegradable P-Life® packaging.
P-Life® oxo-biodegradable technology is an effective way to accelerate plastic degradation without harming the environment. P-life® is the world’s only proven oxo-biodegradable plastic additive. 

P-Life is a proprietary additive technology that makes polyolefin polymers, considered as non-biodegradable polymers, into Oxo-Biodegradable polymers. P-Life® creates molecular scissions in the polymer chain, allowing oxygen to bond to the polymer and break it down into smaller and smaller compounds. These can be then naturally consumed by microorganisms, which convert the compounds into organic biomass. This technology results in a plastic product, that will begin to degrade in few years (or even months) after its use, instead of decades or centuries of polluting the Earth.
