Responsible materials for modern outerwearRecycled Down
Recycled down is reclaimed from post-consumer products, then cleaned, sanitized, and reprocessed to restore loft and insulation performance.
- Lower environmental impact compared to virgin down
- Comparable warmth-to-weight ratio
- Suitable for fashion and functional down jackets

Recycled Synthetic Eco-Fill
Recycled eco-fill is a man-made insulation produced from recycled polyester fibers, commonly sourced from post-consumer PET bottles.
- Vegan alternative to animal-based insulation
- Better performance in wet or humid conditions
- Consistent loft and easy care
- Stable supply for large and repeat programs
