The Sympatex membrane has been awarded the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification.
Functionality: The “Eco-Blue” ski jacket has all the important characteristics and features you would expect from a top-quality ski jacket. Needless to say, it is windproof and waterproof, extremely breathable and boasts ultrasonically welded seams, waterproof zippers, elastic cuffs, a fleece collar, ski pass pouch and snow cuffs.
Fashion: This jacket's feminine style and cut accentuate the figure nicely, while the silver “Laser Cut” reflective strips – and in particular the exceptional digital prints on the inner lining – make the “Eco-Blue” a treat for the eyes as well.
This unique concept enabled Sympatex to outpace all of its competitors in the clothing category to win this year's ispo European Ski Award.
Production: The “Eco-Blue” ski jacket is produced by the Barco Tekstil Company in Istanbul, Turkey. Barco employs state-of-the-art technology, yet is also very environmentally aware.
The importance of environmental protection and regeneration is firmly anchored in the company's philosophy. One example of this textile manufacturer's efforts to balance its impact on the environment is its policy of planting a tree for every one thousand items it produces and of sorting its waste for the recycling facility – measures that by are by no means common practice in Turkey.
The company is also planning to construct a new building in 2008 that will be built solely from environmentally friendly and natural materials such as stone and glass. Its wastewater will be treated and recycled for reuse in the production process.
The company will produce warm water using its own solar energy facility. Being located in Turkey, the company also offers shorter transport routes than locations in the Far East, something that not only helps to protect the environment, but also facilitates faster deliveries and greater flexibility.
