Our Fabrics

Cutan®
For our waterproof garments, we use Cutan®. Cutan® is a proprietary Klättermusen waterproof and ventilating technology developed to improve on existing fabrics both in performance as well as sustainability by developing PTFE-free membranes to become fluorocarbon-free in production. Cutan® fabrics are soft, flexible and have great stretch.

Cutan® Super Stretch consists of three layers: an inside layer in polyamide, a waterproof polyurethane membrane in the middle and an outer fabric of polyamide and stretch fiber. The three fabric layers are laminated together into one single fabric.

Cutan® Stretch RP consists of three layers; an inside fabric in polyester, a waterproof polyester membrane in the middle and an outer fabric of 100% Recycled Polyester (RP). The three fabric layers are laminated together into one single fabric. Cutan® Stretch RP is 100% recyclable.


Retina®
For our waterproof backpacks and bags, we use Retina® with taped seams. This allows you to be out in the rain for a longer period of time without having to worry about your belongings getting wet.

Polyamide (Nylon) is a synthetic fiber creating extraordinarily strong and versatile fabrics. Levitend® are the fabrics based on polyamides that we use for apparel. Retina® fabrics are based on polyamides but geared toward use in backpacks which places different requirements on the fabric.

The polyamides we use are derived from both recycled, bio-feedstock and virgin sources.
