Fairly produced, multifunctional and uncompromisingly sustainable

Sustainability is a life philosophy. A central focus of a sustainable lifestyle is fairly-produced, multifunctional textiles with eco-friendly technologies and long-lasting products with recycled, recyclable or organic-based components. Schoeller is encompassing these responsible innovations in its new biocosmo line, which represents lived-out sustainability, demonstrating immense respect for Mother Nature and future generations.

Schoeller Performance Fabrics Winter 2022-23 Collection Highlights

Within the Schoeller Performance Collection, biocosmo is setting a clear focus: extraordinary sustainability. The innovative schoeller®-allweather three-layer stretch fabric, for example, combines sustainability with functionality. Fairly produced in Switzerland, the hard-wearing outdoor and winter sports quality features c_change® weather protection and ecological elements: a high-quality recycled polyamide and a recycled elasthane, as well as the water-repelling ecorepel® Bio technology finish, based on renewable raw materials.

RECYCLED CONTENT

A feeling of freedom and home is radiated by the wonderfully-comfortable, bi-elastic schoeller®-shape-jacket and pants fabric with organic cotton on the interior and recycled polyamide on the matt exterior. Freedom of movement and sustainability also characterize the soft green, bi-elastic schoeller®-dryskin with recycled polyamide and PFC-free ecorepel® Bio technology. Outstanding moisture transport and reliable abrasion resistance make it the ideal accompaniment for every type of active sport.

MOVEABLE COMFORT

The schoeller®-allweather tweed qualities in vibrant woollen colors can be tailored into sporty-elegant travelling companions. The two-layer Merino blend floats softly and, thanks to the c_change® climate membrane (now also available in black), ensures reliable weather protection. The super-comfortable, doubleface schoeller®-comfortshell flatteringly sheathes the silhouette. As jackets or pants, the washable mulesing-free Merino soft-shell offers all-round comfort along with ecological water-repelling properties, thanks to ecorepel® Bio technology.




SMART PROTECTION

Highly-elastic and very voluminous best describe the comfortable schoeller®-comfortshell jacket quality with its interesting 3D effect. Whether as a fashionable outdoor jacket or as a sporty fashion outfit, thanks to the soft fleece backing, the special soft-shell keeps the wearer cozy and warm. Discrete safety on the roads is provided by the light, casual schoeller®-spirit cotton-polyester blend with shiny reflective dot coating. Here too, the additional eco-friendly water repellence is ensured by the ecorepel® Bio technology.

FANCY FASHION

Sophisticated functionality is embodied in the light, two-layer schoeller®-allweather jacket fabrics in a naturally-shimmering taffeta look. With the bionic c_change® climate membrane and the PFC-free ecorepel® Bio technology, the fine down quality not only impresses optically on the slopes but also provides protection from wind and weather. A real eye-catcher is the schoeller®-spirit fabric in sparkling gold or orange, or vibrant hot pink. The full-surface glossy coating responds to the play of light, making an extravagant statement.
