We continuously work together with our partners to ensure best practices, while also monitoring them.

 

Sasta Q. 33

Sasta Q.33 fabric is used in a variety of trekking, hunting and outdoor clothing. The composition of the fabric is 65% recycled polyester and 35% organic cotton. The paraffin wax finish on the surface of the fabric gives more body to the fabric and makes it dirt-repellent. Thanks to the PFC-free C0 (PFC Free) Nikwax Cotton ProofTM treatment, Sasta Q.33 fabric is water-repellent. Sasta Q.33 fabric is durable despite its light weight. The fabric also protects against wind and mosquitoes and is highly breathable.

Garments made of Sasta Q.33 can be retreated by Nikwax Cotton ProofTM when needed. Please explore more about retreatment https://www.nikwax.com

Wool

Wool is a breathable material with excellent thermal insulation properties. It absorbs and transfers moisture effectively, without ever feeling wet. It is the only fibre that keeps you warm even when it is wet. Wool has natural water- and dirt-repelling properties, and it is easy to keep clean by airing.

Recycled Wool

Recycled wool is made from recycled fabrics and old scraps of knitwear, spun together with virgin fibres using the traditional recycling techniques of Italy´s Prato Green district. Recycled Wool is virtually water repellent and washable field wool. The material is highly breathable, warm and wind resistant fabric due its boiled and tightly woven structure. We are using Recycled Wool in various “SARKA” wool jacket and trousers, and wool flannel shirts.

Ventile® ECO Organic

Ventile® ECO Organic is made from sustainably grown organic certified cottons that have not been exposed to pesticides or chemical fertilisers and use low-impact processing methods and materials. Ventile Organic is woven from premium extra-long-staple cotton that represents only 0.04% of the overall cotton produced worldwide. This unique fully twisted cotton yarn increases garment durability and lifespan. This reduces the unnecessary frequency of consumer purchases, limiting the negative impact of textiles production upon the environment. Ventile Organic is produced using PFC free Durable Water Repellency (DWR).

Ventile® is a densely woven, very breathable and durable fabric from 100% cotton. Ventile® is not coated or laminated. Instead, the cotton fibres swell when wet, making the fabric tight and water-repellent. Thus the fabric provides excellent protection against wind, rain, snow, and cold.

GORE-TEX® Z-Liner
Traditional hunting garments often have a Z-Liner construction. A GORE-TEX® membrane laminated to a light fabric forms a Z-Liner lining between the surface material and the inner lining, in both jackets and trousers.

GORE-TEX® LTD Liner
The GORE-TEX® membrane is laminated to the mesh lining of the garment. The surface material of the jacket or trousers is separate from this lining.

GORE-TEX® 2-layer
Two-layer GORE-TEX® material is excellently suited to most outdoor activities. The GORE-TEX® membrane has been laminated to the surface material. A separate lining improves the comfort and versatility of the garment.

GORE-TEX® 3-Layer
GORE-TEX® 3-Layer is the optimal material for extreme conditions. The three-layer structure has an effective GORE-TEX® membrane, joined to both the surface material and the heavy-duty inner lining. Since the various layers cannot rub against each other, the wear-resistance of the garment is excellent. The products are light and comfortable.

Gore-Tex® InfiniumTM Garments
Gore-Tex® InfiniumTM garments offer maximum breathability and are completely windproof, enabling you to give a top performance even during extreme physical exertion.

Completely windproof structure protects your body’s micro-climate from the chilling effects of the wind.

Maximum breathability dispels the moisture produced by the body, thus preventing overheating and keeping moisture from collecting inside the garment.

Polartec® Thermal Pro®

Technical fiber compositions maintain a soft texture and air pockets for thermoregulation and breathability. Knit with premium polyester yarns, Thermal Pro® is cozy, resilient, and stylish. The products made of Thermal Pro® can be used as a mid-layer or as its own. Sasta is using Thermal Pro® fleece fabric which is made of 77 % recycled polyester (pet bottles).

Kenytex®

Kenytex® is a hardwearing fabric made of polyester and Kevlar® brand fabric. This super protective material, with superior strength and durability is made of 93 % polyester, 7 % Kevlar®. The material is easy to care, and is water, oil and soil repellent.
