Cardiac GORE-TEX 3L Bibs - Men's

A bluesign® APPROVED product means that the materials used in its production are made in an environmentally friendly way. This certification ensures that harmful substances are minimized, and the manufacturing process is safe for workers, promoting sustainable practices throughout the supply chain.

GORE-TEX is a high-performance fabric that is both waterproof and breathable. This means it keeps water out while allowing sweat and moisture to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable during outdoor activities, even in wet conditions. The 3-layer construction enhances durability, making it ideal for rugged use.

PFC-free DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent treatment that does not use perfluorinated chemicals. This is important because PFCs can be harmful to the environment. Choosing PFC-free products helps reduce your ecological footprint while still providing effective water repellency.

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Certified means that the textiles in the product have been rigorously tested for harmful substances and are safe for human health. This certification ensures that the materials do not contain any harmful levels of chemicals, making them safer for you and the environment.

Kick patches are reinforced areas located at the lower part of bibs, typically around the ankles. They are designed to protect the fabric from wear and tear caused by ski edges or other equipment. By incorporating kick patches, the garment's durability and longevity are significantly increased, making it a smart investment for outdoor enthusiasts.

Products with certifications like bluesign® APPROVED, OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, and features like GORE-TEX and PFC-free DWR not only ensure high performance and comfort but also reflect a commitment to environmental sustainability and safety. Investing in these products means you are making a responsible choice for both your outdoor adventures and the planet.
