TRENDS

Thanks for stopping by to learn more about our FDC SS 25 Trend Byte Series! Our second Great Escape sub-trend is called Protective Basic.

Protective Basic – Weather-repellent knit

The number of consumers enjoying a number of outdoor activities such as extreme sports, running, cycling, hiking and camping continue to increase. During these activities, outdoor enthusiasts will often face unexpected weather such as torrential rain, heat waves and intense UV rays. Products made with UV protection, weather-resistant, cooling, wicking and quick-drying materials are needed. 

Our recommended yarns for Protective Basic  include:

• aerolight: lightweight polyester that has excellent moisture absorbing and quick drying properties due to a C-type hollow core and multi-filament structure, which also provides a super-soft hand for added comfort. 
• regen aerolight: lightweight polyester made with 100% post-consumer PET that has excellent moisture absorbing and quick drying properties due to a C-type hollow core and multi-filament structure, which also provides a super-soft hand for added comfort. 
• cotna: a cotton-like polyester fiber with the touch of a natural fiber and easy-care function
• regen cotna: a cotton-like 100% recycled polyester fiber with the touch of a natural fiber and easy-care function
• creora® regen: RCS-certified 100% recycled spandex/elastane made from reclaimed waste
• creora® bio-based: USDA and SGS-certified spandex/elastane partly made with renewable resources
