A product that is bluesign® APPROVED has been certified to meet strict environmental and safety standards. This means that the fabric used is produced in a sustainable way, minimizing environmental impact and ensuring that harmful substances are not present. Choosing bluesign® APPROVED products helps support eco-friendly practices in the textile industry.

A UPF rating indicates how well a fabric protects your skin from harmful UV rays. For example, a UPF rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of UV radiation. This is crucial for outdoor activities, as it helps prevent sunburn and reduces the risk of long-term skin damage, allowing you to enjoy the sun safely.

Cationic polyester is a specially modified fabric that enhances dyeing properties and color retention. This means that activewear made from cationic polyester is often softer, more vibrant, and more durable than regular polyester. It’s an excellent choice for those who want comfortable, stylish, and long-lasting clothing for their outdoor adventures.

Thumbholes are openings in the cuffs of sleeves that allow you to insert your thumbs, keeping the sleeves securely in place. This feature is particularly beneficial during physical activities like hiking or paddling, as it prevents the fabric from riding up and provides added comfort and warmth, enhancing your overall experience.

Knit jersey is a type of fabric made from interlocking loops of yarn, resulting in a stretchy and soft material. It is favored for activewear because it allows for excellent flexibility and comfort, making it ideal for movement during physical activities. Whether you're running, climbing, or practicing yoga, knit jersey provides the ease of movement you need.

The combination of bluesign® APPROVED materials, UPF ratings, cationic polyester, thumbholes, and knit jersey fabric creates clothing that is not only environmentally friendly but also comfortable, protective, and functional. These features work together to ensure you can enjoy your outdoor activities with confidence, knowing you’re well-equipped for both performance and safety.
