Description
A lightweight polar fleece with a 1/2 zip and raglan sleeves. The fleece is made of 100% recycled fibres with PrimaLoft(R) Bio which is created to help reduce the long-term impact of microplastics on our oceans, landfills, and waterways. The fibre was chosen because it is lightweight, durable, and warm, meaning it provides premium performance during active pursuits. PrimaLoft Bio is made from recycled bottles and has been optimised to be more appetising to naturally occurring microbes in specific environments. The microbes enable the fabric to return to materials found in nature, leaving behind components like water, carbon dioxide, methane, biomass, and humus. In accelerated landfill environments the material has a biodegradation of 93.8% in 646 days, in accelerated marine / ocean environment it has a 76.6% biodegradation in 973 days, and in wastewater environments 17.8% biodegradation in 241 days.
