bluesign® is a standard for environmental health and safety in textile manufacturing. The bluesign® organization provides independent auditing of textile mills, closely examining manufacturing processes from raw materials and energy inputs to water and air emissions outputs.

bluesign® helps us to keep control over the supply chain and choose manufacturing partners based on their commitment to safety and environment.

The bluesign® approval on our fabrics means that it complies with the highest standards of consumer safety by using materials and techniques that save resources and minimize environmental impact. Klättermusen has been a bluesign® system partner since 2007.

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, have great stretch and are fluorocarbon-free. 

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.

Recycled wool gives old and worn-out garments new life. It is a great way of being more sustainable. The Italian recycled wool we use is collected from all around the globe. It originates both from old garments as well as cutting waste from new fabrics. The materials are sorted by fiber content and colors, cleaned and reduced back down to fiber. From this fiber, new material is spun and knitted into new, warm and cozy garments.

We have chosen to use recycled wool in many of our paddings and midlayers. It saves a considerable amount of water and, of course, stops old garments from ending up in landfills. This process reduces CO2 emissions by 83 percent compared to using virgin wool. Wool recycling as a method has been used in Europe for hundreds of years.
