Kapok

Kapok fibre is a non-food fruit crop that can be picked from the tree on which it grows. Flocus insulation materials have similar values to down on thermal resistance, evaporation resistance, and permeability but it is lighter and retains its properties after more washes.

ACTIVE PROPERTIES OF KAPOK

• Silky soft touch
• Lightweight
• Hollow kapok fiber thus insulating
• Hypoallergenic
• Antibacterial
• Anti-moth
• Anti-mite
• Waterproof
• Quick dry

ETHICAL BENEFIT OF KAPOK

Kapok trees grow on hills in a biodiverse environment, this land is not suitable for agricultural purposes. The resulting is 100 % positive impact on the environment. Kapok trees need no irrigation, no pesticides and no fertilisers.

• Kapok is vegan and biodegradable. Flocus generates an effi cient eco-system which preserves water, supports poly-cropping, organically fertilises the terrain, saves agricultural land, avoids erosion and deforestation, reduces carbon and increases O2 in the atmosphere. It is completely sustainable and regenerative.

TECHSTRETCH™ STORM

TECHSTRETCH™ STORM’s unique patented single layer woven technology unites softshell and fl eece into one, achieving the right balance between breathability, wind resistance and water repellency. Its densely woven surface blocks wind and water without the need of lamination making it durable over time.With its single layer construction, the fabric is lighter and less bulkier compared to 2 or 3 layer fabrics. Its soft, plush interior encapsulates warm air keeping body warm. It comes with moderate stretch for full body movement during activities while dissipating excessive heat at the same time.

• This is the ideal fabric for outdoor and sports enthusiasts, for unexpected shift in weather conditions and to stay comfortably warm and dry. Regular 2 or 3 layer knitted fabrics tend to shed more microfi bers during wash due to delamination or loose knitting. With TECHSTRETCH™STORM’s unique single layer woven construction, fi bers are tightly woven together minimizing the amount of fi bers being released into water.Single layer means no foam and no adhesive in between. It also means dyeing the fabric once. That’s cutting back several steps in production - saving valuable energy and water resources.
