Polyamide (Nylon) is a synthetic fiber made from petroleum, creating an extraordinarily strong and versatile fabric. We use both pre- and post-consumer recycled polyamide.

Post-consumer waste is our first-hand choice which covers 90% of the total amount we use, since we want to encourage people to hand in their worn products for recycling. Pre-consumer waste used for recycled polyamide includes discarded industrial fishing nets, packaging materials from factories and old carpets.

Recycling polyamide adds another layer of complexity to the production process, but the result is a reliable, long lasting fabric that is lightweight, quick-drying and wind resistant, and uses what would otherwise become waste while saving energy and resources. We were the first outdoor company to use recycled polyamide across our entire clothing and backpack line in 2009.

Durability has been key for Klättermusen since the inception and no material expresses this better than Kevlar®. Kevlar® has been used in wide range of functions and types of application and remains unsurpassed for ensuring durability and function in areas exposed to high amounts of wear and abrasion. Typical applications are cuffs, storm flaps, knees and backpack bottoms.

Aramide fibers are woven into the fabric, creating an exceptionally durable material that still maintains its elasticity and softness. The Kevlar® we use is bluesign® approved.
