So we are already in February, in the middle of winter season. Today we got the record of cold of the season. -39,5 degrees at Nikkaluokta.

With minus 39,5 is good to get the knowledge of cold…

This week the ISPO fair has been held in Munich. There a lot interesting topics. One of them is sustainable textile. Ecological aspects such as recycled nylon and PFC-free bio technologies based on renewable raw materials are a focal point of the industry. Incorporating Econyl (recycled nylon) into their collection, it isn’t just the ingredients of the textiles that are pursuing a stronger sustainable push but finishes too.

It is time to take a stand about sustainable choice when buying new clothes. It is also important to not have poison close to your body..

Products that was rewarded at the fair was for example:

Tecnicas new boots, Forges. The winner at the ISPO fair this year..
