Everest Functional Textile is a triple-layer, all-polyester bonded fabric, with the outer and inner layers composed of recycled polyester fibres. These fibres are derived from recycled post-consumer PET bottles, which are recycled into PET pellets. With water-repellent, windproof, and thermal insulation properties, the fabric is suitable for raincoats and mountaineering clothing while reducing carbon emissions by 60% to 70%.
