Premium outdoor children’s clothing and accessories manufacturer Isbjörn of Sweden has announced it will be the first company to introduce a 3-layer construction in outdoor garments for juniors. Its Expedition Hard Shell Jacket and Pant will be launched for the Autumn Winter 2017/18 season.

The technical three-layer construction comprises a high-performance membrane, which is bonded to the hard-wearing outer material, and a comfortable inner lining. This construction aims to limit movement between the three layers, which means less wear and tear and even greater durability, the company explains.

 Expedition range

Made from bluesign approved fabric, the high-performance waterproof membrane has a water pillar of 15,000mm and ventilation capability of 15,000 gr/m2/24hrs. The outer material has a water-repellent finish (DWR), achieved with BIONIC-FINISH ECO, a hydrophobic treatment, which does not release flouro-organic compounds into the atmosphere.

The Expedition range also includes a RECCO reflector, which enables rescue teams to pinpoint the wearer’s precise location in the event of an avalanche.

“All Isbjörn of Sweden hard shell products are 100% seam sealed and offer waterproof zippers with the highest quality from YKK, giving teenagers equipment worthy of a true adventure and keeping them perfectly in sync with the elements,” the company reports.

Isbjörn of Sweden

Isbjörn of Sweden, alongside PrimaLoft, is an official bluesign Trademark Partner and each of its items is truly sustainable, made without harmful chemicals and with recycled materials. The new range is more than 90% bluesign product approved.

Isbjörn of Sweden was founded in 2005 by Maria Frykman Forsberg and Camilla Schmidt, after they became mothers for the first time and discovered a gap in the market for high quality and comfortable outdoor garments for children.

Production of Isbjörn of Sweden garments use recycled materials and the company continuously strives to be as environmentally friendly as possible, while still producing long lasting, tough and premium quality garments which emulate adult styles and materials.
