Leading global producer of wood-based specialty fibers, Lenzing has launched the Tree Climate fabric collection by Tencel™, curated by outdoor fabric innovators David Parkes and Marco Weichert, at Performance Days in Munich.
The new Tree Climate outdoor fabric collection features the wide range and versatility of TENCEL™ branded lyocell fibers. It displays a great variety of base, mid, and outer layer fabrics each offering a range of inherent performance qualities, as well as waddings made of wood-based Tencel™ Lyocell fibers for outdoor applications. The three-fold collection allows the creation of synthetic free and enhanced synthetic content layering solutions for different weather conditions.
The environmental impact of the fibers is amongst the lowest of all materials according to the Higg Materials Sustainability Index, an industry-wide tool that measures and communicates the environmental impact of materials used for apparel. In addition to the clear sustainability benefits, the collection demonstrates the versatility of TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers in functional outdoor applications. Wind and water resistant, with optimum breathability and thermal regulation, makes the fabric ideal for outdoor sports lovers all year round. The fibers, which are gentle on skin, also blend well with natural fibers such as wool and hemp.
