Tierra, a Swedish outdoor apparel brand, has unveiled a new 100 per cent bio-based jacket Deterra, made with using natural elements and Fulgar’s innovative bio-yarn EVO. With EVO, Fulgar, a leader in man-made fibre market for the textile sector, has launched a new way of making yarns, in a perfect synthesis between performance and environment.
The sportswear’s innovative drive has inspired the Deterra Jacket, a technical jacket that is fully free from fossil-based material and uses exclusively bio-based elements. The exterior fabric is made with EVO by Fulgar, a polyamide produced from castor oil, while the padding is in wool from German sheep and Tencel yarn derived from wood cellulose. Finally, the buttons are in corozo nut from the Tagua palm, and the hood fastens with a simple knot instead of the usual plastic stopper.Tierra, a Swedish outdoor apparel brand, has unveiled a new 100 per cent bio-based jacket Deterra, made with using natural elements and Fulgar's innovative bio-yarn EVO.
