This jacket combines sporty chic with functionality. The outer fabric, just like the lining and the filling, is made entirely of recycled polyester. The filling is PrimaLoft®, a down-like material that effectively insulates against the cold while being feather-light and water-repellent. External cross-stitching ensures that the warm filling stays securely in place. The dense outer fabric, the full-length two-way zipper, the hood with an elastic trim, and the sleeves with elastic cuffs provide excellent protection against wind and weather. Two concealed side pockets with zippers and two inside pockets hold small everyday items.

Spanish designer Javier Goyeneche has found his own way to combat raw material waste. Since 2012, his label Ecoalf has been producing fashion made from recycled fibers. A key project is “Upcycling the Oceans,” founded in 2015, in which more than 4,000 fishermen and fisherwomen from Spain, Thailand, Greece, Italy, France, and Egypt now recover plastic waste from the ocean. This waste is transformed into yarn, which is then used to create clothing, shoes, and accessories. In addition, Ecoalf is also involved in recycling textile fibers, specifically cotton and wool—and finally, Ecoalf has also mastered the challenge of repurposing old car tires as outsoles for shoes.
