The Fjallraven products use three types of sustainable wool - Traceable, Recovered and Re-wool. They have gone back to the source of the wool they use so you know exactly where it's come from. A great more ethical alternative to synthetic plastics. The trekking products are robust and reliable. Their base layers use ZQ sustainable wool. Their Swedish wool project helps them understand the needs of their suppliers and farmers. Their recycled wool comes from old garments or spill over wool from suit production in Italy. The Canada Wool padded jacket has recycled wool on the outside and Recovered wool on the inside - which would have otherwise been thrown away.

The jacket has a helmet compatible hood and one roomy chest pockets you can access when wearing a harness. It weighs just 400g in the men's medium size, which isn't a lot for the warmth it promises.

Featuring the new Ultra breathable completely waterproof fabric Future Light, exclusive to The North Face. This very soft three-layer laminate can be woven at different densities in order to maximise the breathability, mvtr and waterproof performance for different activities. It will be available in their summit series, flight series and steep series - ranges for climbers, runners and skiers respectively. Is it a game changer? The fabric has been used extensively by TNF athletes, but how will it fare in the UK's damp climate? We look forward to testing it out later this year!
Comments
Just wondering, has Gore-Tex completely taken over the breathable waterproof fabrics market? Anything new about NeoShell, eVent, Dermizax, etc?
This new Future Light fabric from TNF is the latest non Gore-Tex fabric. Whilst they say they have extensively tested it, I wonder if they took it out last Friday in Glencoe and stayed dry... Looking forward to hearing what the Glenmore Lodge staff make of it. Feels like nothing has stood up to Gore-Tex in the last few years.
Those Marmot Featherless jackets look pretty cool. Not generally a big fan of stitch through but they look pretty cosy. Also 700fp is pretty impressive, I wonder how durable it is.
