The Good:
Capilene® 1 polyester employs 100% recycled content without sacrificing performance or comfort – and it's 100% recyclable. We've also found a natural way to control odor without reliance on metals or antimicrobials (to which bacteria develop resistance).
The Bad:
We are currently exploring ways to increase Capilene 1's UV protection abilities. This has proven to be difficult without compromising the performance and comfort of this highly successful fabric.
What We Think:
We're happy to make an important product with 100% recycled content – and 100% recyclable as well.
