Nature-Enhanced Performance
Circular Designs & Sustainable Solutions
Safeguarding Adventures
Sustainable choices no longer mean compromised performance. Emerging technical developments in bio-based and natural alternatives are redefining standards for eco-conscious outdoor wear, rendering them comparable, and in some ways superior, to conventional synthetic options. Wool proves to be a worthy material option for high-performing nature-based products.

Wool proves to be a worthy material option for high-performing nature-based products.
Brands are increasingly tailoring designs for circularity by incorporating materials that facilitate end-of-life recycling. Others are opting for efficient and modular constructions that are easy to deconstruct and intentionally reduce wastage. Recycled and recyclable materials are on the rise across diverse applications, including surfboards, footwear, jackets and bags.
Comfort, protection and style are important factors steering design innovation to help make outdoor adventures both exhilarating and safe. Technical developments in this domain encompass striking finishes for enhanced visibility, cutting-edge insulation solutions and functional accessories designed to prevent injuries, provide support, and deliver sustainable safety protection.
