Functional jacket made of organic cotton

The adidas Terrex Xploric Wind Jacket combines style and functionality for low-intensity mountain activities and microadventures. What makes it special: the jacket is made of cotton and its functionality is based on a particularly robust fabric construction with a water-repellent finish.

Functional jackets made of cotton still belong to the exotics in the outdoor world. Yet you don’t always have to be equipped like a mountaineer if you want to experience outdoor activities. The Terrex Xploric Wind Jacket is a robust jacket that can be worn during less intense activities in nature or at the campsite. It is made of 98% cotton (78% organic cotton and 20% BCI cotton) with two percent spandex for added freedom of movement, but without compromising the stability of the fabric. The main material has a very durable, windproof ripstop construction. In order to withstand light showers, it has been treated with a PFC-free DWR. The abrasion resistance of the material has been tested by the Terrex product testing team in various activities and conditions to ensure that the product is suitable and long lasting. Due to the material composition and fiber selection, the windbreaker offers UPF protection of 50+, which is especially important during the spring/summer months when UV exposure is high. Sustainability, durability and comfort were the main focus for the Terrex development team. Thus, the jacket offers perfect protection from wind and sun. Design and features also combine style and functionality to make the jacket look good in any environment. The target group is young outdoor lovers who are looking for micro adventures, but prefer having their own look. The jacket is part of the “Made With Nature in adidas terrex Apparel”, a range of functional and stylish products that offer a glimpse into the future of outdoor clothing. The goal is to use natural materials, harness their inherent performance properties and enhance them through construction and additional treatments. To help make better decisions, adidas Terrex measures and shares the carbon footprint (CO2e) of these products.

Jury-Statement:

»With this jacket, adidas Terrex brings to the fore the potential of the natural fiber cotton, which plays a rather minor role in the jacket sector of the sports and outdoor industry. And quite rightly asks the question, why does it have to stay that way?«
