Technology

BLUESIGN^®
bluesign^® approved fabricbluesign^® is the world’s most stringent standard for environment, consumer and workforce protection. All environment-relevant production aspects are assessed and permanently optimized: materials, energy, water, water and air emissions, noise levels, waste, handling of hazardous substances. Products made at least 90% of bluesign^®certified materials are marked as “bluesign^® approved fabric”.

STRETCH
The fabric’s stretch comes from either spandex in the fabric or from the type of knit or weave used for the material. This offers maximum freedom of movement.

UPF 40[according to the Australian/New Zealand standard AZ/NZS 4399:1996]Extremely high UV protection so that you can enjoy the sun and mountain sports well protected. A UPF rating of 40 means that a given piece of fabric allows less than 2.5% (<1/40) of the UV rays that hit it to penetrate through. The UV protection is achieved by fibre selection, weave or material thickness. VAUDE products contain no titanium dioxide, i.e. UV protection is provided solely by the construction of the material.
