RECYCLED POLYESTER

Polyester is a versatile, cost-effective synthetic fiber known for its durability, water resistance, and low maintenance. It is widely used in clothing, especially jackets. However, due to its environmental impact, including microplastic release and high manufacturing emissions, we use polyester exclusively in our jackets.

Benefits of using Recycled Polyester in Jackets

Durability

It is a strong and resilient synthetic fiber. Jackets made from polyester are resistant to stretching, shrinking, and abrasions. This durability ensures that the jacket maintains its shape and appearance even after prolonged use, making it a long-lasting wardrobe staple.

Water Resistance

One of the notable features of polyester is its ability to repel water. While not completely waterproof on its own, polyester can resist moisture and dries quickly when it gets wet. This property is particularly advantageous for outdoor jackets, offering some protection against rain and snow.

Insulation and Warmth

Polyester fibers have excellent insulating properties, making them ideal for winter jackets. The material traps heat effectively, keeping the wearer warm in cold weather.

Lightweight

Despite its durability and warmth, polyester is a lightweight material. Jackets made from polyester are easy to wear and carry, making them convenient for everyday use and outdoor activities. The lightweight nature of polyester also contributes to the comfort of the garment.

Quick Drying

Polyester's quick-drying capability is another significant benefit. This feature is especially useful for jackets worn in variable weather conditions or during physical activities. The quick drying time helps prevent the jacket from becoming waterlogged and heavy, maintaining comfort for the wearer.

Low Maintenance

Polyester is easy to care for, often retaining its look and shape without special treatment. We recommend airing the jackets instead of frequent washing, but they can be machine washed if needed.

CARE

With the right care, we can ensure that our garments stay fresh for a long time. Read our Care Guide to learn how to properly care for your Polyester garments.
