Highlights & Technologies:

ECONYL RECYCLING:
For this product, VAUDE uses some robust, lightweight and fast-drying polyamide yarn. This is produced in an upcycling process from used nylon materials, including fishing nets – certified according to the Global Recycling Standard. The ECONYL regeneration system makes the oceans cleaner and saves valuable resources.

GREEN SHAPE:
VAUDE's quality seal for products that are produced in a particularly environmentally-friendly way. As there is no worldwide standard for the assessment of organic products, VAUDE has developed their own rating system for environmentally friendly outdoor products with strict criteria. GREEN SHAPE labelled products are made from sustainable materials and with resource saving production methods. The criteria are not only strict but also continuously reviewed and involve the entire product lifecycle, ranging from development through to product care and recycling after use. The aim of this rating system is to minimize the environmental impact.

GREEN BUTTON (“GRÜNER KNOPF”):
The German textile seal “Grüner Knopf” (Green Button) identifies textiles that meet high social and environmental standards. 26 social and ecological criteria are considered for each product. The companies must prove their human rights, social and ecological responsibilities.

POLYAMIDE RECYCLING:
For this product, VAUDE uses some robust, lightweight and fast-drying polyamide yarn. These are surplus materials and cutting room scraps from polyester production that – instead of being disposed of as waste (as is often the case) – are collected, processed and returned into the production cycle. This maximizes the utilisation of valuable resources in material production and minimises the amount of new raw materials used for a product.

R-PAD:
The "R" in the name stands for "Road" and thus directly describes its ideal purpose: This pad is made for long road tours in a sporty riding position. Whether you're training, racing or travelling by bike, the high-density construction of the seat pad absorbs pressure on sensitive areas and provides extra stability.
• High-density 3-layer construction
• approx. 12 mm thick
• Made from firm foam
• With perforated surface

SLIM FIT:
Close-fitting.

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.
