It’s a shell, so won’t
keep you toasty, but
knowing it’s made from
sugar-cane waste will
give you a warm
glow inside.It’s fair to say there are more exciting ski
jackets available this season, but with the
Demain (and its equally boring matching
bib ‘pant’, €360) you will not find a more
technically advanced outfit made using
cutting-edge eco-friendly materials.
It’s based around Picture’s revolutionary
bio-sourced Xpore membrane, developed
in conjunction with movie projector maker
BenQ (yes, really) – a nano-porous
material made with recyclable polyolefin,
and coated with a PFC-free, solvent-free
waterproofing treatment. This is a big steptowards removing petrochemicals from
the outdoor clothing industry.
All that counts for nothing if it doesn’t
perform, but this jacket is a masterpiece
in eco-engineering, with an unparalleled
waterproof rating and off-the-chart
breathability. It’ll keep you bone-dry in
even the worst Scottish sleet, without
ever feeling like you’re trapped in a binliner.Klattermusen Vale
You’ll need warm layers
and there are few better
than this stretch hoodie,
which also keeps your
eco-cred intact by using
Primaloft Bio, the first
biodegradable, 100%
recycled synthetic
insulation.
