Repreve is a brand of recycled polyester made from plastic bottles and other post-consumer waste. Choosing clothing made with Repreve helps reduce environmental impact by utilizing recycled materials instead of virgin polyester, which is derived from petroleum. By purchasing Repreve products, you contribute to sustainability and help decrease plastic waste in our environment.

DWR is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. It causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry in light rain or snow. However, it's important to note that DWR does not make the fabric completely waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure, additional waterproof layers may be necessary.

RECCO is a safety technology integrated into outdoor gear, particularly for skiing and snowboarding. It consists of small reflectors sewn into clothing that help rescue teams locate individuals in case of an avalanche. When a RECCO detector emits a signal, it bounces off the reflector, allowing rescuers to pinpoint your location quickly, enhancing your safety on the slopes.

A 2-layer laminate is a fabric construction that combines a waterproof and breathable membrane with an outer fabric. This design protects you from rain and snow while allowing moisture from sweat to escape, keeping you comfortable during physical activities. It’s ideal for outdoor adventures where you need protection from the elements without sacrificing breathability.

A powder skirt is an elastic or adjustable band found in many ski and snowboard jackets. It fits around your waist and helps prevent snow from entering the jacket when you fall or are in deep snow. This feature provides extra protection against cold and wet conditions, ensuring you stay warm and dry while enjoying your time on the slopes.

While products made with Repreve and treated with DWR are excellent for light rain and snow, they may not be suitable for extreme weather conditions. Repreve provides sustainability, and DWR enhances water resistance, but for heavy rain or severe weather, look for additional waterproof features or layers to ensure maximum protection.
