KLÄTTERMUSEN – FLUOROCARBONS
5
DON’T USE TOXIC FLUOROCARBONS WHEN THERE ARE SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES Our hats off to Norway, for taking the lead by legislating a prohibition on PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) in clothing from 2014. The debate on the need to use fluorocarbons for waterproofing outdoor clothing has gone on for a long time. Klättermusen started work on phasing out these toxins in 2004. We welcome the Norwegian courage and would like to provide some guidance and our views on the issue.
ALL KLÄTTERMUSEN’S PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN PFOA-FREE
ALL OUR OTHER PRODUCTS ARE ENTIRELY
SINCE 2008. We started working on fluorocarbon-free products
FLUOROCARBON-FREE. Products that are dirt and water resistant
in 2004 and after four years of pressure, succeeded in convincing all our fabric suppliers to provide us with PFOA-free alternatives. However, we signed an agreement in which we promised no liability if the products contained traces of fluorocarbons, because they could not guarantee that the machines were completely cleaned between production for us and for others. Klättermusen was first on the market with a PFOA-free water proof jacket, Noatun, in 2007. Many suppliers claim that we are still the only brand who wants an alternative treatment for textiles – but now there will be more of us. The Norwegian government has taken a wise decision in prohibiting textile products that contain PFOA. Thank you Norway – stand proud and let’s hope that the EU and the rest of the world follow your good example. We are pleased to welcome our colleagues to the world of more sustainable production methods.
are marked with a symbol stating that they are FC (fluorocarbon) free.
A FEW OF OUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN C6 TECHNOLOGY, i.e. they contain gentler fluorocarbons. This applies to materials where we are not yet at the point of using alternative waterproofing. Products made from these materials are marked with a symbol to show they are PFOA-free. In other words, they are not completely fluorocarbon-free.
with a well-known, less harmful substance, we’ll use that.
BASE AND MID LAYERS ARE ALSO FREE OF THESE CHEMICALS.
These are products that do not need water repellent treatment. They do not contain fluorocarbons, but are not labelled as such. We have chosen not to label them as FC-free because it would be like marketing a bicycle using the slogan “now without CO2 emissions”.
KLÄTTERMUSEN HAS TWO MAIN PRINCIPLES IN ITS ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY. THE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE. This means that it’s not full
speed ahead simply because something isn’t proven to be dangerous. THE SUBSTITUTION PRINCIPLE. If the same result can be achieved
Klättermusen offer for FW 14, no less than 80 products (out of 97) that are entirely fluorocarbon-free. Our intention is that in the future all our products will be entirely free of fluorocarbons, including C6 technology, and our aim is to achieve this by the spring of 2015.
FACTS ABOUT FLUOROCARBONS AND PFOA
HOW TOXIC ARE THEY?
FLUOROCARBONS are ingredients in treatments that are used
Fluorocarbons are similar to female sex hormones and lead to reduced fertility in all mammals. They are also extremely toxic to aquatic organisms. Men’s sperm counts have reduced by 50% since the 1950s, and these substances are a possible cause, but certainly not the only one. Studies have shown that the level of PFOA is increasing in our children. In other words, a new-born child/calf/ foal – whatever the species – has levels that are higher (up to 20 times more) than its mother.
to make garments and textiles waterproof. They are also used when producing PTFE membrane, also known as Teflon®. Fluorocarbons can be called PFOS or PFOA (there are many more) and are not only used in the textile industry. In the textile industry, only products that need to be water and dirt repellent may contain fluorocarbons; they are not used in base and mid layers. PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonate) has 16 carbon atoms and is highly
toxic, is not biodegradable and is an endocrine disruptor. Its use in textiles has long been prohibited in the US and the EU. The more carbon atoms, the more toxic the fluorocarbon. PFOA (perfluorooctanic acid) has 8 carbon atoms. It is also
persistent, i.e. it is not biodegradable. The levels of it found in our blood are increasing, and PFOA is both an endocrine disruptor and carcinogenic. It is prohibited in Norway from 1 June 2014. C6 technology is also fluorocarbon-based but is significantly less
toxic and is not yet proven to be carcinogenic. However, it is an endocrine disruptor and affects the reproductive capacity of mammals.

Buy a colour that you love, because Brede will outlast all the current fashions. Due to their construction, the pockets are not totally waterproof. Use the specially constructed GPS/phone pocket for items that need to be kept totally dry. Very hardwearing, but not lightweight. This is a jacket for active people who aren’t scared of a snowstorm.

Froste was the chief of Finland in the ancient times. Froste means cold and frosty.

THE NAKED TRUTH
This is the shell garment for people who like to keep it lightweight, but who still want durable equipment with a long life. Skidbladner does not have a rigid wind funnel and is therefore not designed for expeditions to the North Pole or similar places.
Skidbladner is Frejas super light ship built from cobwebs and bird spittle. The ship can be folded up and kept in a pocket – even though it has enough space for 30 men.

THE NAKED TRUTH
Allgrön is a slim jacket with great fit. If you are on the large side, you should perhaps try a different jacket, or one size larger than normal. The jacket does not have a rigid wind funnel on the hood, so is not suitable for an expedition to somewhere really cold. Recycled polyester is not as durable as polyamide, but you do get a product with high ECO-index points.
NAME STORY
Allgrön is an island that is owned by the giant, Fjölvar. It is very beautiful and it is said that the god Oden like to visit and seduce girls who are dazzled by his appearance.

!
THE NAKED TRUTH
The front pocket allows you to make full use of the area between the hip belt and shoulder harness when carrying a backpack. The lightweight, two-and-a-half layer material is not as strong as the material in the heavier Brede and Froste, thus life expectancy is shorter for the Ask jacket.
NAME STORY
Ask was the first man, and Embla was the first woman. They were created by Odin, Höner and Lodur by giving life to two trees, an ash (ask in Swedish) and an elm. They lived in Midgård and were probably very, very happy.

WATERPROOF GARMENTS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE BEST CHOICE Have you ever done a strenuous walk in the mountains in a waterproof shell garment? If so, then you were probably sweating a great deal and then, when you stopped, suffered from damp and chilly clothes. No waterproof shell garment will manage to transport all the moisture away from your body during strenuous activity. This is why we make garments with MFR – Mass Flow Resistance. It may sound complicated, but it’s actually pretty simple to understand. Massflow is the flow of air through your clothing, MFR is a measure of how much wind a garment lets through when you’re out in the elements. The higher the value, the better the windproofing. EXAMPEL OF OUR MFR PRODUCTS: MFR 2 – Mithril jacket in Windstretch™ fabric. MFR 5 – Gere pants in recycled polyamide. MFR 8 – Bilskirner jacket in Etaproof® cotton.

THE NAKED TRUTH
Rimfaxe has a somewhat long cut that protects all your vital parts. This jacket will be a favourite if you prefer something natural and free of toxins. Dyed cotton always bleeds a little when it is worn and washed, particularly dark colours. This means the garment will eventually show the typical cotton patina and you will get the “experienced mountaineer” look.

Perfluorooctanic acid (PFOA), which is the most hazardous of all fluorocarbons, has properties that have not yet been fully investigated. In addition to high persistency, it has been labelled a reproductive pollutant and may also be carcinogenic. The Swedish Chemicals Agency recommends that consumers ask for other alternatives when buying all-weather jackets.

THE NAKED TRUTH
These pants have no reinforcements and are intended for trekking and leisure, not for professionals who are knee-high in mud and dirt. The mix of cotton and polyester in the fabric mean the trousers can withstand more abrasion then 100% cotton would cope with.
NAME STORY
According to Norse mythology, Trym was a giant. On one occasion, Trym hid Thor’s hammer and demanded Freja as a ransom. Thor went to the wedding disguised as Freja and stole the hammer back. Pretty neat!
RECYCLED MATERIAL 4
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE/Teflon®) is a water resistant, slippery plastic that is produced with PFOA. PFOA is also released during its use and even more is created when it is incinerated, which is a typical method for processing PTFE waste. Using recycled material reduces raw material usage and, often, energy consumption, leading to lower CO2 emissions.
4. RECYCLED MATERIAL: OVER 70% BY WEIGHT
A durable and long lasting product reduces the use of raw materials when compared to a product with a short life cycle, which needs to be replaced quicker. Made from over 70% renewable materials, e.g. cotton, wool and down. Reduces use of crude oil as raw material. 7. NON FOSSIL MATERIAL: OVER 70% BY WEIGHT

Materials can be biodegraded to soil or biomass for biogas. This limits the amount of waste that needs to go to landfills or incineration. 9. BIODEGRADABLE: OVER 70%
When making wash-proof wool Chlorine is normally used in high concentrations. Chlorine processes normally result in wastewater containing organohalogens (AOX), among them Dioxins. They are deadly toxins to humans in waterways, and proven carcinogenic for long-time low concentration exposure. Klättermusen chlorine free wool does not use Chlorine in any form in the process. 10.

This polypropylene product has no water repellent treatment, as it does not significantly improve the water resistance; polypropylene is naturally water repellent (hydrophobic). Easily recyclable to virgin quality, due to less consumption of energy and fewer chemicals than polyester and polyamide.
THE NAKED TRUTH
The fit is normal and the fabric is non-stretch. The pants will dry quickly but cannot be ironed. The fabric has a tendency to look a little wrinkled, but that’s rarely a problem in the great outdoors. Due to the fabric’s low melting point, be careful close to open flames.

Dyed cotton always bleeds a little when it is worn and washed, particularly dark colours. This means the garment will eventually show the typical cotton patina. Turn the trousers outside in when you wash them to limit the unavoidable wrinkly effect. For winter use with long stockings and for summer use just as they are.
NAME STORY
When the gods failed in their first attempt to harness the wolf, Fenris, the dwarves cast an even stronger chain. Drome means “the true chain”, but even it couldn’t hold the amazing creature. Then Gleipner was made, and as at Klättermusen, Gleipner was a little stronger than Drome.

rECOver – A SMALL STEP TOWARDS BETTER MANAGEMENT OF THE EARTH’S RESOURCES All new garments and accessories have a small label that indicates the refund value of the garment. This “deposit” value is up to €20, which will act as an incentive to return the product for recycling. No deposits will be returned on older products, those that do not have a deposit label. However, we will accept them for recycling in an environmentallyfriendly manner. THE SHOPS HAVE A KEY ROLE in getting the
recycling programme to work. The consumer takes a worn-out Klättermusen product to the shop and has the deposit returned in the shape of a credit voucher – money that can be used to buy new Klättermusen equipment.
The salesperson cuts off the centre of the deposit label that is sewn into the old product and places it in an envelope. The shop sends the labels it has collected to Klättermusen and receives a credit on the next invoice. Klättermusen’s representative collects the recycling products when they visit the shop and takes it back to our facilities.
Our rECOver recycling programme includes the following materials: polyamide, polyester, polypropylene and metal. Klättermusen is one of the first manufacturers of outdoor equipment in the world to recycle polyamide and polypropylene.

WONDERFUL WOOL
WYNJA HOODIE Full zip wool hoddie
Klättermusen’s Merino wool comes from approximately five sheep stations in New Zealand, which are able to provide very fine micron wool. The wool is scoured and carded in China and then spun and knitted in Auckland NZ before being sewn into fantastically soft and comfortable garments. Wool is a great material with natural antibacterial properties, which means you won’t smell as bad as you would after a week in the mountains in synthetic underwear. It’s biodegradable and comes from a renewable source. Wearing wool feels good both for the mind and body.

Stretchy and soft material with excellent moisture transportation. Different features on the in and outside: wool on the inside to absorb and transprot moist, polyamide on the outside for increased durability. Adjustable hood. Angled zip with internal storm flap.

Is Merino a new breed of sheep? Merino is not a new breed of sheep; in fact, the Merino is thought to be the oldest sheep breed in the world, having evolved from several wild species. How many are there? Merino sheep account for approximately 5% of all sheep in New Zealand. That makes 3.3 million Merino sheep, of which 97% are on the South Island. When did they arrive in New Zealand? In 1773 Captain James Cook brought two Merino sheep to New Zealand from South Africa on his second voyage. Unfortunately his Noah’s Ark attempt to establish a breed from two sheep alone did not succeed. They took a bite of a poisonous plant and died. Isn’t wool itchy? Well, for sure it can be. Wool fiber have scales, like fish! They have to be removed in order to make the fibre soft and non itchy. We remove the scales from our merino wool fibers using a unique chlorine-free process that’s bluesign® approved. A LITTLE WOOLLY WORDLIST
Shearing = shaving the sheep. This is done once a year between August and November, leaving enough time for the sheep to grow some more wool before the cold winter months. Scouring = washing the wool and removing the lanolin.
Top = after the fibre has been scoured and carded, the fibre is combed to remove short fibres before it is transformed into a long white sliver of combed, clean fibre that is very soft to the touch. That sliver is the top. Micron = or micrometre (mc), is the measurement used to express the diameter of the wool fibre. The lower the micron, the finer the fibre, and thus less sticky. Huntaway = a New Zealand breed of sheep dog, which works sheep by barking loudly and for a long time.

Heading dog = a little black and white dog that does a big cast around the mob and pulls them back to the musterer. Shrek = a famous sheep that hid in a cave for five years before it was found and finally shorn (giving 27 kg of fine wool). This woolly celebrity raised a lot of dollars for the Cure Kids organisation in his long and glorious life (Shrek is also a movie, but with no sheep actors). Bääää = sheep talk in Swedish. Stations = in New Zealand, a sheep station is not somewhere ewes catch a train, it’s what sheep farms are called. Cecil Peak Station is one of the five or so stations on the South Island that provide us with wool. Source: nzmerino.co.nz (which has more information if you are interested).

OLD POLYESTER MADE NEW – ECO-CIRCLE COMPLETES THE CYCLE ECO-circle™ has had great international success and Teijin®’s revolutionary recycling process is the reason we can promise nearly 100% recycling of our polyester fabrics. The process is strictly controlled to eliminate harmful by-products, and results in a dramatic reduction of energy consumption and carbon emissions. Recycling polyester can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 77% and energy consumption by up to 84%. Furthermore, the polyester produced in the recycling process has the same high quality as polyester from a virgin source (i.e. from crude oil). This is why Klättermusen are pleased to have Teijin® as one of our material suppliers. With the help of ECO-circle™, we can give new life to old fibres. Over and over again. Klättermusen uses ECO-circle™ in Allgrön & Glaser jackets, Eitre pants and Mysse 2.0.

THE NAKED TRUTH
This is an extremely advanced pack, but it is very easy to adjust. The floating V-Free Flex™ shoulder harness may feel a little tight and stiff at first, but the system really starts to show its strengths after only a few kilometres on the trail. In the shop, a conventional padded carrying system feels deceptively comfortable, but pain can start building up when carrying a heavy load, due to pressure on the muscles. This is where Mjölner demonstrates its superiority.
NAME STORY
Mjölner is Thor’s magic battle hammer that was crafted by dwarves, never misses its target and always returns to its owner. When it’s not in use, Mjölner conveniently shrinks to a size that means it can be worn as a necklace.

THE NAKED TRUTH
To the maximum benefit from the Butterfly Bridge® shoulder pads, you must adjust their length so that the bridge is on top of your shoulders. Always tighten the hip belt’s top buckles more than the lower ones. One big compartment means that packing is easy, but that it may take more time to find a special item. Use a drybag in wet conditions.

NAME STORY
Mimer has a showerproof zip, but the seams are not taped so it is not fully waterproof. The outside stretch pocket should not be used for sensitive electronics in the rain. There is a simple laptop compartment inside, but it does not offer the same level of protection as Gnå.
Mimer was a giant who guarded the spring of wisdom at the root of the world tree, Yggdrasil. Anyone who drank from Mimer’s well would know everything about what had happened and what would happen. Mimer knew most things, because he drank from the spring every day.

THE NAKED TRUTH
Kraka is well equipped for intense peak attempts, but not ideal for hauling heavier gear as skis and snowboards. On smaller backpacks (30–35L), it may be a bit oversized as a top lid.
NAME STORY
Kraka (Crow) was the name given to Åslög, daughter of the leading Valkyrie, to hide her heritage during childhood. When discovering her true goddess beuaty, the bakers were so stunned that they burnt their bread. In addition to good looks, she had both wits and the ability to see future happenings.

FROM OLD FISHING NETS TO BRAND NEW BACKPACKS ONE WAY OF REDUCING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT is to use recycled material in new products.
Retina recycled polyamide fibre, which is made from waste materials like used fishing nets and old carpet flooring, is the raw material for most of our backpacks and bags. These products use 28% less oil than a product made solely from new materials, as well as considerably reducing carbon emissions. OUR PARTNER – HYOSUNG – IS GRS CERTIFIED.
GRS stands for Global Recycling Standard and
guarantees that the entire chain, from raw material to finished fabric, only includes recycled polyamide.

KLÄTTERMUSEN – MATERIALS
Dyed cotton always bleeds a little when it is worn and washed, particularly dark colours. This means the garment will eventually have a slightly faded appearance, like jeans. Cotton is biodegradable. fabric is a blend with MFR 8 that is made from 76% densely woven organic cotton mixed with 24% recycled polyester. The waterproofing is PFOA-free. The fabric is strong and weighs 202 g/m2. THE HIRSUTUM
The fabric is soft, silent and comfortable. It has high water resistance. Ventilation through the fabric is perfectly adequate, despite it being perceived as windproof. The dye is stable and long lasting. However, the fabric cannot be separated and recycled. is a 100% Ripstop polyamide with a weight of 35 g/m2. The fabric is PFOA-free, downproof and has a tear resistance of 30/16 Newton. PERTEX®
WHAT FOLLOWS IS A REVIEW OF THE MATERIALS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN OUR PRODUCTS.
WATERPROOF MATERIALS
Klättermusen has its own brand, Cutan®. The material is available as Cutan® Super Stretch and Cutan® Stretch RP, where the RP stands for “recycled polyester”. Both types are waterproof three-layer fabrics with taped seams and good stretch qualities. We also have Cutan® Stretch, which is a twoand-a-half layer fabric of 100% polyamide, with Cutan® ripstop as reinforcement. consists of an inside layer in polyamide mesh, or net lining, a waterproof polyurethane membrane in the middle and an outer fabric of polyamide and stretch fibre. The fabric layers are laminated to work as a single fabric. The fabric is soft and flexible and has great stretch. It is available in two thicknesses, where the difference is in the outer fabric. CUTAN® SUPER STRETCH
has an inside fabric in polyester mesh, a waterproof polyester membrane in the middle and an outer fabric in 100% recycled polyester. The fabric layers are laminated to work as a single fabric. The fabric is 100% recyclable and is soft, flexible and stretchy, manufactured by Teijin® and ECO-circle® certified. CUTAN® STRETCH RP
is a two-and-a-half layer fabric in 100% polyamide, with a Polyurethane coating instead of a membrane. CUTAN® STRETCH
Cutan® Ripstop is a waterproof two-layer fabric with a weight of 73 g/m2. Membrane in polyurethane and outer fabric in polyamide that has been woven using a ripstop technique to increase tear resistance. PFOA-free. The membrane in all Cutan® fabrics is entirely free of PTFE and thus fluorocarbon-free. The waterproofing in the outer
fabrics in Cutan Super Strech®, Cutan Strech RP® and Cutan Strech® is PFOA-free. We now use C6 technology for waterproofing, but in the future we hope to find a completely fluorocarbon-free method for waterproofing our shell garments. All Cutan® fabrics have a water column that is measured at more than 20 metres and we have a standard of 5 metres for the tape. The fabrics’ RET value, or diffusion capacity, which describes how well the material allows through vapour and sweat, is 5–6 depending on the thickness of the outer fabric. The lower the value the better, and 5–6 is excellent. MFR MATERIALS
We have a range of materials that are included in the MFR (mass flow resistance) concept, i.e. materials that are not waterproof, but which are wind resistant and water repellent. The number after MFR states the resistance to airflow through the fabric. The higher the number, the more wind resistant it is. We measure from 0, which is no resistance, like naked skin, to 8, which is our highest value. A higher value than this is endless, i.e. a waterproof membrane, which does not allow through a measureable amount of air. is a MFR 8 fabric and is made from 100% organic cotton with fluorocarbon-free waterproofing. Our cotton is tightly woven and has long fibres. It is grown the south of the USA and is spun, woven and dyed in Switzerland. The cotton is GOTS* certified (Global Organic Textile Standard). We use two different weights; one is a little thinner at 205 g/m2, and is used for jackets, the other is thicker at 240 g/m2 and is used in pants. ETAPROOF®

REINFORCEMENT MATERIALS
needed in the fill to support the heavier fabric.
We have chosen to reinforce some areas of our products to increase their durability. This may be on the shoulders for jackets or on the seat for pants. The materials below are never used in an entire garment, but there are other materials that are used for the whole of some products and as reinforcement on others, so the material descriptions are in another section.
Down 95/5 contains 95% goose down and 5% small feathers. Fill power 800+ (IDFB/US method) 750+ (EN 12131).
is a fabric made from 100% polyamide and is coated with polyurethane. Fluorocarbon-free waterproofing. ICEBREAKER PA
is a fabric made from 100% recycled polyester and is coated with polyurethane. Fluorocarbon-free waterproofing. ICEBREAKER RP
is a extremely hardwearing material made from Kevlar® polyamide, coated with polyurethane. SCHOELLER® KEPROTEC
is a unique surface treatment that Klättermusen has developed to improve durability. It is a coating that is applied to particularly vulnerable places such as shoulders or elbows, increasing wear resistance by up to five times. The Duracoat™ treatment is very soft and flexible and, because no extra seams or layers of fabric are required, durability improves without increasing the garment’s weight. Klättermusen has used Duracoat™ for many years and is now using it on increasing numbers of products. DURACOAT™
INSULATING MATERIALS
We fill our insulating garments so that they hold the air that keeps you warm. We use the following fills: is the optimal microfiber insulation. Ultrafine fibres are specially treated in a patented process and then combined to make an insulating core that is incredibly soft, light and water repellent. Primaloft® Eco contains 50% recycled fibres. It doesn’t absorb any water and is thus suitable for wet weather. PRIMALOFT® ECO

It’s a certified waste product from the food industry, which means it is not plucked from live birds, and is of excellent quality.
Klättermusen always strives to use the best accessories in its products. This applies to everything from thread to webbing and whistles.
Good down quality is characterised by low weight, high loft and good compression, which is usually described using the concept of fill power. The higher the fill power, the better the quality and the more warmth. The finest down has 95% down and 5% small feathers, thus giving it high fill power. This means the jacket’s fill is very light and fluffy. Using a finer quality down with more fill power gives more heat per unit of weight. In other words, a light down jacket with fine down is just as warm as a heavier jacket of poorer quality. We use three different qualities. All of them are good. The reason that jackets with Etaproof® cotton as the outer fabric have 80/20 down is that a higher proportion of feathers are

NOTES
Most garments have binding bands at the sleeves and lower hems to avoid wear in vulnerable areas. The binding is either made from polyester or polyamide, depending on the fabric in the garment. We use only high quality YKK zips. Our plastic buckles are also of the highest quality. When we select them we prioritise long length of life and an ability to withstand freezing temperatures. We aim to have material of the same chemical origins in our garments and backpacks, so that our products are easier to recycle.
