Breathability
Breathable garments are air permeable. This benefit is most useful during physical activity, when there is an increase in body heat inside the garment. The breathability of the fabric allows moisture vapor transfer (MVT) or the capacity for warm.
Closed Loop
We are the first sailing brand to use the Closed loop design. A circular method of design and production (produce, use, recycle back into production) opposed to traditional design which is linear (produce, use, dispose). All our polyester clothing can be returned and will be recycled into yarn for the manufacture of new fabrics – look for the Closed Loop mark on North Sails Performance products.
Polygiene
Polygiene® Stays Fresh Technology keeps clothing fresher for longer by stopping the growth of odor-causing bacteria with a biocide made of silver chloride. This salt inhibits and guards against the growth of bacteria and fungi. Polygiene® stays effective through many more washes than any other anti-bacterial treatment. Bluesign® approved
Fastdry
Our fast-dry fabric products are the perfect allies for sailors. With their ability to dry quickly, they offer comfort while racing or cruising, keeping the skin cool and dry even in rough sea conditions. The ideal choice for sailing enthusiasts looking for reliable performance and long-lasting comfort.
Recycled
Recycled means that a material or product that has been treated using a special process so that it can be used again. At North Sails, we are aware of the dependence that the fashion industry has on non-renewable and finite resources.
