Recycled Polyester is a fabric made from recycled plastic bottles and other plastic materials. It plays a crucial role in reducing waste and minimizing environmental impact compared to traditional polyester, which is derived from petroleum. By choosing products made from Recycled Polyester, you’re supporting sustainable practices and helping to protect our planet.

High-Pile Fleece features longer, fluffier fibers that create a thick layer of insulation. This texture traps heat effectively, making it an excellent choice for cold weather. The cozy feel of High-Pile Fleece not only provides warmth but also adds comfort, making it perfect for outdoor activities or lounging at home.

The term "20-Denier" refers to the thickness of the fabric, with lower numbers indicating a lighter weight. Ripstop is a special weaving technique that enhances the fabric's durability by preventing tears and rips. This combination makes 20-Denier Ripstop Fabric lightweight yet strong, ideal for outdoor clothing that needs to withstand rough conditions.

Synthetic Fill insulation is made from man-made fibers, providing several advantages. It is lightweight, retains warmth even when wet, and dries quickly, making it a practical choice for various weather conditions. Unlike natural down, Synthetic Fill is also hypoallergenic and easier to care for, ensuring you stay warm and comfortable without compromising on convenience.

Durable Water Repellent (DWR) is a treatment applied to fabrics that helps them resist water. It allows the fabric to shed light rain and snow, keeping you dry during light precipitation. However, it’s important to remember that DWR is not waterproof, so it may not be effective in heavy rain. This feature is great for outdoor activities where you might encounter varying weather conditions.

To maintain the quality of clothing made with Recycled Polyester, High-Pile Fleece, or Synthetic Fill, it’s best to follow the care instructions on the label. Generally, washing in cold water and air drying is recommended to preserve the fabric's properties. For DWR-treated items, periodic re-treatment with a DWR spray can help maintain water resistance over time.
