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.
