INNOVATIVE MATERIALS
RECYCLED POLYESTER
Recycled polyester is made from materials which would otherwise been thrown away and most likely ended up on landfills. It is made of leftover waste from the garment industry, from plastic bottles and other recycled polyester materials.
REPREVE®
REPREVE® is a post-consumer recycled polyester made from PET bottles. The bottles are cleaned, cut into small parts, and then processed into raw material to make new polyester. The REPREVE® in our products is mainly used as insulation in jackets.

SOFEELATE®
Sofeelate® is insulation material made of recycled polyester.
RECYCLED JELLPLUS®
JELLPLUS® is developed by Jinyu Fibre. It is a fake down insulation material which can save up to 25% weight.
BIONIC FINISH® ECO
To make materials water repellent, they requiere an impregnation process. Normally, this is done using a Durable Water Repellent Finish (DWRF), which often contains highly fluorinated chemicals (PFASs). These chemicals can be harmful.
Bionic Finish Eco, developed by the Rudolf Group, is a unique and patented water repellent impregnation that is entirely free of fluorinated substances. Due to its fluorine-free formula it is not dirt-repellent.
