This year sees the launch of PULSAR®'s first environmentally responsible collection called PULSAR® Life. They have taken a circular approach from the beginning and emphasis on R&D to select the most responsible solutions currently available to make considered choices, selecting sustainable fibres and switched out virgin polyester for recycled polyester (RPET) together with working with branded partners like Thermolite, Rudolf. By using Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified materials, they have ensured traceability amongst the range.
PULSAR® LIFE
Environmentally Responsible Clothing
The collection includes 2 mid-layers, one of them being a reversible puffer jacket, a first for PULSAR®, 3 high performance waterproof styles utilising 2 and 3 layer laminate GRS recycled polyester (RPET) fabric technology, including a coat, overtrouser and a shell jacket with a first in class A-symmetric zip design. New patterned 7cm wide segmented reflective tape used throughout, together with geometric patterned feature zips give the collection a more fashion look and feel. The collection is available in both mens' and ladies' styles in hi-viz yellow or orange.
During the development of this range, we undertook wearer trials to better understand performance requirements, whilst investigating garment construction methods to ensure that we create the most durable garments possible, to further extend the life of the product.
