TECHNOLOGIES AND MATERIALS
WATERPROOF AND BREATHABLE MATERIAL ULTRATECH® RECYCLED
The second generation of UltraTech Recycled was developed in collaboration with Taiwanese manufacturers specializing in technical fabrics and yarns. To preserve the basic properties of the outer material, this fabric is made from 50% recycled polyester made from used PET bottles and 50% virgin polyester.
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.
EXTREMELY DURABLE YKK ZIPPERS
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.
HIGHLY DURABLE COATS® THREADS WITH PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
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.
FULLY TAPED SEAMS
Seams are the most risky place where water can get inside the product. For this reason, we taped all the seams with a special waterproof tape. This technology in combination with UltraTech®️ materials provides you with maximum protection against moisture in the most demanding conditions.

PRODUCT IN ACTION
BIODEGRADABLE PACKAGING
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.
