Recycled fibres, certified
Our fabrics come from recycled PET bottles or surplus production. The recycled content is certified to the Global Recycle Standard (GRS), which audits the supply chain rather than taking a supplier's word for it. Packaging is recycled PET too.
-
BLUESIGN® approved
BLUESIGN® assesses what goes into textile production — the chemicals, the water, the air — and approves fabrics that meet it. It's a check on the process, not a label applied to the finished product.
-
PFC-free waterproofing
We don't use PFC-based finishes. The water-repellent finish on our fabrics is Zelan™ R3, which is made largely from renewable plant-based raw materials.
-
OEKO-TEX tested
Tested to STANDARD 100, which covers every component — threads, buttons, zips, trims — not just the main fabric. On clothing a five-year-old will chew the sleeve of, that distinction is the point.
WeeGrow System
One suit. Two to three winters.
A snowsuit that fits for three winters replaces two that would otherwise have been made, shipped and thrown away. That's a bigger saving than any fabric choice on this page — and it's why the snaps exist.
-
Unsnap
Open the internal snaps inside the sleeve or leg. They sit out of sight, so the suit looks the same either way.
-
Pull down
The hem drops to release up to 6cm of extra length.
-
Re-snap
Fasten it at the new length. About thirty seconds per limb, no sewing. It shortens again the same way to hand down to a sibling.
What we haven't cracked yet
Turning old snowsuits into new fabric is our goal, not something we can do today. Synthetic fibres break down slowly, which makes them a good candidate for it — but the technology to spin new yarn from old polyester garments at any real scale isn't there yet. Until it is, our recycled content comes from plastic bottles rather than old clothes.
We'd rather tell you that than call it a closed loop.
Before you replace it, talk to us
A torn knee doesn't have to be the end of a snowsuit. We can usually source spare parts from the makers in Germany, and if something turns out to be a manufacturing fault we'll cover the cost of fixing it at your local repair shop. Anything else, get in touch and we'll work it out.
Made to be worn out, not thrown out
Two to three winters from one suit, and spare parts when something gives.
