What Is Tek Sherpa Fleece?
Tek Fleece Sherpa blends the cosy warmth of traditional sherpa with enhanced technical performance. Designed for active wearers, it offers a soft, wool like texture on the inside while incorporating features like improved durability, moisture wicking properties and greater stretch. Ideal for cooler climates, it delivers comfort that works as hard all day long.
What Is Recycled Fabric?
Recycled material in our range is made using fibres sourced from post consumer plastic bottles or other recycled materials, helping to reduce textile waste and our environmental impact. In our range, recycled polyester is blended with regular polyester to ensure lasting durability and comfort. It offers the same softness, warmth and reliability as conventional materials but with a lighter footprint on the planet.
What Is Brushed Fabric
Brushed fabric is a fabric that has been gently combed during the finishing process to raise the fibres on the surface. This creates a soft, fuzzy texture that feels warm and comfortable against the skin. Brushing enhances insulation by helping the fabric trap more air, making it ideal for cold weather and everyday comfort.
What Is Anti-Pill Fabric?
Anti-pill material is specially treated to resist the small balls or "pills" that can form with regular wear and washing. This helps maintain a smooth, clean look over time, so your layers stay looking newer for longer.
