How we build
One polymer, from the face fabric to the thread. Everything else is a consequence of that decision.
The constraint
Designing for the end of the garment, not just the start
Most technical outerwear is optimised for one moment: the day you test it. We optimise for two — that day, and the day it stops working. The second one is what forces the monomaterial construction, and it is the reason our range is smaller than it could be.
Every material choice below exists to keep the garment recoverable. Where a conventional solution performs slightly better but breaks the loop, we do not use it.
01
The fibre
Post-consumer polyester and nylon, collected and reprocessed in Europe, spun back into yarn. Nothing virgin enters the chain — not in the shell, not in the lining, not in the insulation.
02
The membrane
ECOMEMBRANE is a microporous recycled structure: it blocks rainwater from outside while letting humidity escape from inside. It belongs to the same polymer family as the fabric it is laminated to, which is the part almost nobody else does.
03
The insulation
ECOFIBERDOWN is a recycled fibre that holds loft when wet, which is what actually happens to down in wet snow. No animal down, no virgin synthetic.
04
The trims
Zips, thread, cord locks and labels are the usual place a monomaterial claim quietly falls apart. Ours are chosen to stay inside the same recovery stream, or to be removable in one step.
05
The end
Worn out, the garment comes back to us whole. No dismantling, no downcycling into filler, no landfill at the end of the line.
Detail
The parts people ask about
Why does the range have so few references?
Because every new fabric has to pass the same test: can it be recovered with everything else in the garment? Most cannot. We would rather have twenty pieces that all close the loop than two hundred that mostly do not.
What is the waterproof rating?
20,000 mm water column and 20,000 g/m²/24h breathability on the three-layer shells, with fully taped seams. Softshells are wind-resistant and water-repellent, not waterproof, and we label them that way.
Why no PFC?
PFC-based repellents last longer on the garment and much longer in a river. Ours needs reproofing sooner. We think that is the correct trade, and we tell you how to do it on the care page.
Who actually sews it?
Audited partners in Europe, in short runs. The mill and the country of manufacture are printed on each product page rather than buried in a sustainability PDF.
