Aspire 3L Trench - Women's

A bluesign® APPROVED product means that the materials used are produced in an environmentally friendly way and ensure safe working conditions. This certification guarantees that harmful substances are minimized during manufacturing, promoting sustainable practices that protect both the environment and workers.

AscentShell Dry 3L technology features a three-layer fabric design. The outer layer provides protection against the elements, the middle layer is a waterproof membrane that keeps moisture out, and the inner layer offers comfort and breathability. This combination ensures you stay dry and comfortable, even during intense activities.

PFAS-free Nikwax Direct.Dry DWR treatment is a water-repellent finish that does not contain harmful chemicals known as PFAS. This treatment helps keep your gear water-resistant while being safer for both the environment and your health, making it a responsible choice for outdoor enthusiasts.

Fully sealed seams are crucial because they prevent water from leaking through the stitched areas of the fabric. By using special tape or coatings to seal these seams, the clothing remains truly waterproof, ensuring that you stay dry even in heavy rain or wet conditions.

Mechanical stretch fabric is designed to move with your body, providing flexibility and comfort without losing its shape. This feature is particularly beneficial for active pursuits like running, climbing, or hiking, as it allows for a full range of motion and enhances overall performance.

The combination of bluesign® APPROVED materials, AscentShell Dry 3L technology, PFAS-free DWR treatment, fully sealed seams, and mechanical stretch fabric creates a high-performance garment that is not only environmentally friendly but also keeps you dry, comfortable, and free to move. This means you can focus on enjoying your outdoor activities without worrying about the weather or your gear.
