HPL Comfort™ R-Series

Circular soft- and hardshell fabrics

After vigorous trialling and testing Rivertex’s Innovation Lab has developed fully circular softshell and hardshell fabrics for protective functional clothing. Both multilayer fabrics are constructed of recycled content and are fully recyclable.
The 3 layer Softshell fabric is made from recycled polyester yarn, has a waterproof and breathable recycled PET membrane and a recycled polyester fleece backing. The 2 layer Hardshell fabric has a similar sustainable construction.
Both fabrics are made with similar polymers making them fully recyclable as well.
Since there are no noticeable technical differences from the original versions, Rivertex has decided to fully replace their successful ranges of HPL Comfort 325 Softshell and RTX+ 300 with these fabrics.

Both fabrics have GRS certification, are competitively priced and available from stock.
