Behind the Seams Ep. 2: Recycled Performance

BY : MALLORY BRITTON  • Sustainability • 06.12.2024

The second installment of this series features the Blackcomb, an innovative seamless design made from mostly recycled polyester fibres. We’ve loved the Blackcomb since its birth back in 2015 when it won an ISPO Award and became a fast favourite. A decade later, we’ve made some tweaks here and there, but what we’re most stoked about is designing the last few iterations in collab with Protect our Winters Switzerland – an organisation we proudly partner with to support climate advocacy.

The high-performing Blackcomb falls in our Warm range, meaning the top and bottom are standouts for huge range of winter sports. What’s to love: exceptional fit, fast dry times, anti-stink treatment. And no matter how much you move in them, Blackcomb’s seamless design keeps annoying chafing out of the equation. All from a 75 per cent recycled polyester fabric blend.

This season, you’ll find the third version of our Odlo x POW base layer made with an integrated, body mapped graphic that represents glacial melt and the tag “Protect our winters” embossed in the interior. Base layers designed with intent for both ultimate comfort and unrivalled function.

About the series: In each episode, we double-click on some of the base layers we love and the overlap between comfort, the outdoors and sustainability. We’ve dubbed the shorts, “Behind the Seams” – a nod to the seamless products for which we’re best known: the world’s most comfortable, next-to-skin base layers.
