HOW IS THE TORRENTSHELL JACKET FROM Patagonia MADE?

The jacket is Fair Trade certified. For Patagonia, this is the first step towards a fairer remuneration for its partners in the supply chain. This label offers workers in the textile industry benefits and a decent wage, which is not necessarily the case in this industry.

The jacket is also made of recycled nylon from post-industrial waste, yarn collected from a spinning mill and waste from weaving mills. Nylon is among the strongest and ultra-lightweight plastics, which is why Patagonia needs it to make technical products and maintain its performance standards. 81% recycled nylon is used to make Patagonia garments and the brand continues to reduce its dependence on oil as a raw material.

The H2No™ performance standard is Patagonia's benchmark for waterproofing, breathability and durability of garments. Covered by the Ironclad Guarantee Patagonia, H2No Performance Standard products provide the highest level of durable waterproof protection.

The jacket is made with a fluorinated DWR primer, which allows the waterproof jacket to wick away moisture. It's a durable water repellent (DWR) that prevents clothing from becoming waterlogged. DWR is a functional chemical coating containing PFCs (perfluorocarbons), which have long been used by the outdoor industry to make water-resistant clothing. But they are non-biodegradable chemicals that are harmful to the environment. PFCs are extremely effective at repelling water, but because of their impact, Patagonia is working to eliminate them entirely from the clothing the brand produces. Patagonia is working on this primer to be PFC-free by fall 2022.

bluesign® works in the textile supply chain to certify that chemicals, processes, materials and products are safe for the environment, workers and consumers.
