One of the best outdoor performance fabrics on the market, WeatherMax from Safety Components, is also one of the most environmentally-responsible. Completely recyclable, it is efficiently manufactured to strict ISO 14001 standards, ensuring that even all the waste generated from producing the fabric is recycled. WeatherMax product manager John Pierce made the announcement.
"The greatest way to reduce waste is to design a superior product that lasts, and that is exactly what we've done," said Pierce. "Combining beauty and strength, WeatherMax employs advanced UV technology and solution-dyed SaturaMax yarns to maintain its rich color and dimensional stability for a minimum of five years. And after a long service life, the green fabric can be entirely recycled. Not many other outdoor fabric manufacturers can say that."
Unlike traditional fabrics, WeatherMax features an innovative HydroMax finish instead of coatings that are harmful to the environment and users' health. Water repellant, it has twice the strength and six times the tear resistance of acrylic. The breathable WeatherMax fabric also eliminates mold and mildew growth.
