Description
Two years ago, Holden released a groundbreaking new hemp-fiber outerwear fabric that was highly waterproof and much more environmentally friendly than the polyester-based or nylon fabrics on the market at the time. Since then, several other major outerwear brands have followed their lead in pursuing alternative, natural fiber fabrics. They take pride in the fact that there's now a legitimate eco niche in the world of snow outerwear.
Holden operates from the inside out with environmental consciousness. They're continually searching out and developing better, more eco-minded materials, laminates, and even packaging material. They've also updated the glue and improved the hemp fabric this season.
The Slub fabric in the Holden Hazel Pant, is a mid-weight polyester fabric that has horizontal slubs, creating an organic surface texture. It has a tight weave and is extremely water relellant. This fabric is very durable and features a microporous coating of 10,000mm waterproofness and 5,000g breathability.
