Highlights & Technologies:

WINDPROOF 80:
Extremely wind-resistant thanks to a high density of the fabric (weave, treatment or finish). What remains is a pleasantly cooling breeze which provides good breathability. This technology is suitable for use in windy weather.

PRIMALOFT:
 As an ultra-fine microfibre insulation material, PRIMALOFT is ideal for cold-weather and all-season clothing. The fibres are also incredibly soft, lightweight and highly compressible for a small pack size. PRIMALOFT is wind-resistant, breathable and offers excellent water-repellent properties. Once it is wet, it dries extremely fast. However, even when wet, PRIMALOFT retains its insulating properties and thus ensures a comfortable, dry and warm feeling in almost any kind of weather. 
PRIMALOFT quality grades range from Premium to Basic, available in Gold, Silver and Black variants, as well as in various other functional variants.

STRETCH:
The material’s high elasticity is achieved through a high percentage of elastane or through a special knitting / weaving technology. The elasticity of the material increases comfort, performance and freedom of movement.

GREEN SHAPE:
This standard for clothing and textile outdoor products was developed by VAUDE in 2010. Since 2025, it has been supported and further developed as an independent standard by Green Shape e.V. It includes a certification programme with high environmental requirements, including for materials, production and the product life cycle, as well as for the measurability and transparency of these requirements. 
The Green Shape brand is a registered EU certification mark.

GRÜNER KNOPF (“GREEN BUTTON”):
The German textile seal GRÜNER KNOPF (“Green Button”) identifies textiles that meet high social and environmental standards. This seal also verifies corporate due diligence with regard to human rights and ecological criteria. The publisher of the GREEN BUTTON seal is the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Likewise, the GREEN BUTTON is a national and European certification mark. The certification programme is based on ISO 17065 and is validated by the German Accreditation Body.

Note:
The reflective design elements attached to the clothing as decoration do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
