Other technologies

The clothes you come across on our website are full of the latest technologies and innovations. Besides membranes, filling, material treatments, softshell fabrics or fleeces other technologies may also be involved. Which ones they are and what they mean for the garment we explain on this page.

Fjallraven

G-1000 is a technology developed by Fjällräven in Sweden itself. It is a fabric made from polyester and cotton that you can find in Fjällräven's jackets, trousers and also bags. For more information about G-1000, please visit our Fjällräven page. There we also explain the differences between each version of G-1000: G-1000 Air, G-1000 Air Stretch, G-1000 Eco, G-1000 Heavy-Duty, G-1000 Lite, G-1000 Original, G-1000 Silent and G-1000 Stretch.

Pertex

Pertex is a producer of all kinds of high-quality technical fabrics for outdoor and sportswear. On our website, you will find very many of these different fabrics. We have therefore dedicated a special page to Pertex where we discuss their main fabrics and techniques: Diamond Fuse, Quantum, Quantum Air, Quantum Pro and Y Fuse.

Steiner

Loden is a textile from the Austrian company Steiner. Loden is made from 100 per cent natural wool. It is processed in as many as 40 elaborate steps. A yarn is spun from the wool, which is then woven into a woollen fabric. This is then washed so that it shrinks and a process called "Walken" in German is used. This refers to mashing it until the threads felt. This ultimately results in an extremely robust fabric with a very high density. Pure virgin wool from Austrian mountain sheep is always used for Loden. To improve the quality, fine wool from other animals can also be added.

Tencel

Tencel is the brand name of Austrian company Lenzing under which they sell the natural synthetic fibre lyocell. Lyocell is made from wood pulp derived from eucalyptus trees. Tencel clothing has the positive properties of being soft to the touch, very breathable, very quick-drying and odour-neutralising.
