Dakine released its Sender Stretch 3L Series Jacket and Pant, a ready-to-recycle technical outerwear kit for winter.
The Sender, available for men and women, aims to reduce the brand’s environmental impact while pushing the technical performance of its products.
“The Sender Series is part of Dakine’s first step towards integrating circular life cycle principals into broader product areas,” shared Gabe Schroder, snow marketing manager, Dakine. “As a brand, Dakine shares the responsibility of protecting our planet and the places we play in. To do this, we partner with like-minded organizations, like 1% for the Planet, and address issues with creative solutions, which led to the creation of the Sender Series. We’re excited to offer a technical apparel series that keeps sustainability principles at its core.”
The Sender Stretch 3L Jacket and Pant are made with Dakine’s performance Re-Psychd fabric, a 4-way stretch recycled poly, plain weave 3L ultra-light backer, 20k/20k laminate, and PFC-free water-repellent finish. The recycled fabric offers a soft hand and includes fully taped seams. The jacket and pant come with Recco technology, a tri-pull adjustable fixed hood, Aquaguard pockets and zippers. The kit offers a relaxed, articulated fit for skiers and riders for full range of motion. Once the jacket and pants reach the end of their life cycle, they can be broken down and reused.
In addition to creating Re-Psychd fabric, Dakine expanded the use of GRS-certified recycled materials in its snow gear bags for Winter 2023. The brand also introduces PFC-free and Gore-Tex-certified mittens with the men’s and women’s Baron Gore-Tex Series.
