The outer material of this unlined parka keeps out precipitation and splashing water (e.g. on a bike). The spacious hood with peak and drawstring, the water-repellent two-way zipper and the taped seams all contribute to this. Velcro sleeve straps in combination with elasticated cuffs make it easy to adjust the width of the sleeve openings, while ventilation eyelets under the armpits increase comfort. The parka's matt fabric is made from recycled polyester from post-consumer textiles, i.e. clothing that has already been worn. Two slanted side pockets with panels above the opening can hold small items for everyday use. And as the parka is a real lightweight, it is ideal for wearing as the top layer of a layering look.

The Spaniard Javier Goyeneche has found a personal way to counter the waste of raw materials in our throwaway society – with creative ideas. In 2012, his label started producing fashion from recycled fibres. Then he initiated the revolutionary Ecoalf Ocean Project: More than 3,000 fishermen along the Spanish coast enlisted to help recover plastic waste from the sea. Goyeneche has the residues transformed into high-quality yarns for clothes, shoes and accessories. A similar project started in Thailand in 2017. Recycling all-natural textile fibres, namely cotton and wool, is another objective on Ecoalfs to-do list. Finally, the label mastered the challenge of finding new uses for old car tyres.
