It’s no secret that the fashion industry has a significant impact on our environment. In fact, it is the second largest polluter in the world, just after the oil industry. The environmental damage is only increasing as the industry booms. One of the largest issues in the production process, and one that’s not often discussed, is that of the chemicals used in various stages of garment production from fibre productions to dyes and treatments. We often think of the risks associated with chemicals in things like cleaning products and pharmaceuticals, but rarely give serious thought to the chemicals that are used in the production of the clothes we wear all day long.

The year started on a high at ISPO 2020 when Steve and I were invited out to Munich after being selected by the judges at ISPO Brandnew (one of the biggest, most respected competitions in the sports industry) as one of the top 50 newcomers! Whilst we didn’t win the final, we were very excited to be one of the few selected brands in the urban sports category and have the opportunity to rub shoulders with the top industry players. It was none other than our Recycled Parka that caught the judges eye and attracted the attention of buyers from around the world!

Recent downpours have reminded us just how important it is to have a good waterproof so we thought we’d do a recap on different waterproof materials and technologies and what to look for in a jacket that will meet any wet-weather need, from city to coastline to mountaintop.
