THIS WATERPROOF JACKET IS MADE COMPLETELY FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS



Yes that's right I said 100% for my first post this might be hard to beat.

Jack Wolfskin unveiled its new Texapore Ecosphere jacket, which it claims is the first outer shell made completely from recycled materials! The bad news it is only coming out in the spring but for the good news here are the specs......
-the jacket is completely free of perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs)
WATERPROOF UP TO 20,000 MM
Breathability of 20.000 g/m2/24h.
 Jack Wolfskin Texapore Ecosphere Collection takes it one step further and uses a membrane that is made entirely of other membrane offcuts. Both the outer fabric and lining fabric are made from 100% post-consumer recycled material that is fully PFC-free. Jack Wolfskin is working hard to completely abstain from PFCs — currently 89% of their apparel collection is already PFC-free, including the new Texapore Ecosphere range.

We'll take back any Páramo product (except underwear), and either find it a new home, or recycle it into new fabric.

FAIR TRADE Páramo’s partnership with the Miquelina Foundation in Bogotá, Colombia began in 1992.
