Polyamide is a durable and strong fiber, increasing the life time of the products containing it. The Ultramid® Biomass Balance Polyamide has the same high-quality features as conventional polyamide, but is far more sustainable. In production of Ultramid® Biomass Balance Polyamide a certain amount of fossil resources is replaced with an equivalent amount of renewable feedstock, such as biogas or bio-naphtha. Klättermusen invests in nothing but 100% renewable feedstock. This is a step towards a more sustainable product, contributing to lower greenhouse gas emissions and saving of fossil resources. The amount of renewable resources used is monitored by a third-party certification system. 

We are the first outdoor brand to apply this fiber in our production and hope to inspire others to become more aware of the choices they make.

Duracoat™ is a unique proprietary surface treatment that Klättermusen has developed to improve durability in high-abrasion areas. It is a coating that is applied to particularly vulnerable places such as the shoulders or elbows, increasing wear resistance by up to five times.

Duracoat™ is a surface treatment, meaning that no extra seams or layers of fabric are added, while keeping it very flexible. Durability is improved without increasing the weight of the garment or weakening the fabric with seams. The cut and construction is kept intact as Duracoat™ doesn’t distort the shape or impede movement in any way, making it ideal for the agility required by mountaineers.

Duracoat™ has become a symbol of both the scientific know-how and innovative thinking of the Klättermusen tradition.

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.

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.
