Jack Wolfskin Icefall Jacket sportstylemag.com March 2021 ~ sportstyle 11 Eco Jacket from RAB, a Fall 2021 offering, is the first product to use 3-layer Pertex Shield Revolve fabric. Made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled polyes- ter, Pertex Shield Revolve is made from a polyester face, polyester membrane and polyester backer. This monopolymer, or single type of material, not only has a reduced impact during production but it also paves the way to be recycled again at the end of its life. The fab- ric is super soft to the touch, quiet when in use, lightweight and very comfortable to wear. The $230 Arc Eco also combines style with its sustainable and performance elements in a hard shell jacket. COTOPAXI recently announced a bold sustainability goal, saying that it is aiming to have its product collection 100 percent repurposed, recycled or responsible by 2022. Ninety percent of the brand's products currently meet this cri- teria, and 94 percent of Cotopaxi products sold in 2020 included a majority of materials that were responsible, recycled, or repur- posed, according to the brand. Cotopaxi has partnered with Climate Neutral, a nonprofit organization working to decrease global carbon emissions, to achieve carbon neutrality in 2021. Davis Smith, Cotopaxi's CEO and co-founder says, "Cotopaxi has always strived to design in ways that reduce waste and contribute to sustainable development. We're thrilled to advance our commitment to environmental and social practices that improve the lives of all those who touch and contribute to our brand." The FINISTERRE BioSmock is a clean insulation layer, which can be worn as part of a layer system, or work on its own as a shell. The garment features PrimaLoft BIO technology combined with HD Wool Active Insulation with an outer shell made with new PrimaLoft BIO woven technolo- gy, a PFC-free synthetic material produced by Amaterrace of Japan that is biodegradable in both land and marine environments. HD Wool Active Insulation uses a blend of non-Merino wool known for its greater physical durability and is sourced from farmers who have started the ReGenerative Agricultural process. l STOP CHAFING & BLISTERS EVERYWHERE ® SINCE 1996 ©2001 BODY GLIDE Cotopaxi Teca Cálido Hooded Jacket Finisterre BioSmock Rab Arc Eco Jacket
