A concrete example: Idris II wool parka
The heart of VAUDE's commitment is a concrete example: the Idris II Wool Parka jacket. This parka is designed to provide warmth and relaxation and is made from lavalan® wool insulation from certified organic farming on Lake Constance and corn-based fibers.
The Lavalan® wool insulation is not only washable, temperature-regulating and breathable, but also embodies VAUDE's commitment to sustainable materials. The parka is made from recycled tires and has a water- and dirt-repellent PFC-free Eco Finish finish. The Green Shape label is Bluesign® certified and guarantees an ecological and functional product.
In addition, the Idris II wool parka is climate-neutral because emissions are systematically reduced and offset by the independent non-profit organization “myclimate”.
VAUDE continues to show that the textile industry can move to more sustainable practices while offering high quality products. These latest awards strengthen VAUDE's position as the undisputed leader in sustainable fashion.
