Our second Conscious Preparation sub-trend is called Mindful Explorer.
Mindful Explorer
As people continue to enjoy outdoor activities, functional outdoor fabrics also continue to be upgraded. This season, functional hardshell jackets will be updated with planet-friendly materials. As versatility is a big trend, not only do these shells have to work for just active outdoor activities, but also for city commutes, trips to the gym – and everyday life.
Our recommended yarns and fabrics for Mindful Explorer include:
Key Yarns
- regen Ocean Nylon: GRS-Certified, 100% post-consumer recycled nylon made with discarded fishing nets.
- regen Xanadu: a polyester fiber made with a blend of recycled post-consumer PET and corn-based materials.
- regen Aerolight: a lightweight 100% recycled polyester providing outstanding moisture management function and refreshing feel.
- regen Bio-Based Spandex: USDA and SGS-certified spandex/elastane partly made with renewable resources.
Suggested Fabrics
Mid-layer fabrics updated with sustainable material combination of natural and recycled synthetic fibers.
