Materials
Recycled polyester
Polyester is a synthetic material made from petroleum. It is a durable, smooth fabric that feels soft. In addition, it is lightweight, does not need to be ironed and dries quickly. Unfortunately, polyester is not biodegradable, but it is recyclable. If the product is used and maintained properly, it will last longer, making the product sustainable in the long term. This makes recycled polyester a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative.
Down
Down has excellent thermal properties and is therefore able to insulate body heat against outside cold. In addition, down has a high moisture-regulating capacity, which ensures that a jacket does not quickly feel clammy it gives a natural warmth. Furthermore, down is also recyclable. A parka with down filling also requires less filling than, for example, a synthetic filling . This, together with the fact that down is very light, ensures that jackets with down filling are easy to pack. This ensures that this parka is easy to carry.
Technologies
RDS
Responsible Down Standard (RDS) is a quality mark for down and feathers. The down and feathers come from birds that are kept for the food industry. To be RDS certified, the birds must have been treated in an animal-friendly manner. This means that the birds may not be plucked alive and kept in small cages. In addition, force-feeding and beak trimming are prohibited.
PFC free/Eco Finish
The North Face Metropolis women’s parka is produced without the use of environmentally polluting fluorocarbons (PFCs). The use of PFCs in textile finishing ensures that clothing becomes water, dirt and grease repellent. An alternative finish has been used in this jacket without the use of PFCs. This makes the product water and dirt repellent. However, an oil-repellent effect cannot currently be achieved with a PFC-free finish.
