MATERIAL
Our engineers have developed a Polyester-based textile and replaced the elastane fibres with PBT fibres that give it sufficient elasticity to ensure user comfort whilst protecting it against the damaging effects of chlorine.
The benefits of this PBT thread are
- quick drying.
- only loses 3 to 4% resistance throughout its lifespan.
- Even the brightest of colours will retain their colour-fastness.
Score to compare the environmental impact of products
The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire life cycle and with different indicators. An overall score (ABCDE) is attributed to help you easily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type with one another (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks, etc.).
Decathlon chose to apply this voluntary environmental labelling scheme.
