Eco-friendly WeatherMax withstands environmental elements

Published On: March 1, 2009

Problem: Outdoor performance fabrics must withstand environmental stress, but is there a durable fabric that is also environmentally responsible?

Solution: The best way to reduce waste is to design a superior product that lasts. WeatherMax employs advanced UV technology and solution-dyed SaturaMax yarns to maintain its rich color and dimensional stability for a minimum of five years, and after a long service life, the green fabric can be entirely recycled. Combining beauty and strength and water repellency, it has twice the strength and six times the tear resistance of acrylic. Breathable WeatherMax fabric also eliminates mold and mildew growth, and unlike traditional fabrics, it features an innovative HydroMax finish instead of coatings that are harmful to the environment and users’ health.
