Billie Coat

Do this for a minute: Put on your ski jacket or pants and go step in the shower. If you’re wearing a Flylow piece made with Surface 2-layer or 3-layer hardshell fabric by Intuitive, you’ll watch the water bead up on the surface and slide right off. This burly, 150-Denier oxford weave, coated with a Durable Water Repellent, is designed to keep you warm and dry and have a tough but smooth feel. A nylon tricot on the backing protects the membrane and wicks moisture away from your body.

PFCs, or perfluorocarbons, are found in chemicals often used in Durable Water Repellent (or DWR), and once released into the environment, those chemicals are no good. Instead of harmful PFCs, we’re using a friendlier, bio-based treatment that will still keep your fabric dry in a storm but is kinder to you and our planet.

We work with the best partners in the textile industry to ensure our products and materials meet the highest safety and environmental standards. From bluesign®-approved supply chains to products tested and approved by Oeko-Tex for consumer safety to Durable Water Repellents made without PFCs,we are certifying our supply chain and retaining all supply chain certificates for full transparency and to ensure that we use materials that align with our goal of making the least impact possible on the environment.
