With this jacket, you’re always well protected from the wind—whether on your way to work, while shopping, or during outdoor activities. In addition, the fabric is water-repellent to slightly waterproof, allowing it to withstand light to moderate rain for a while. The roomy hood features a brim and drawstring, and the water-repellent two-way zipper can be zipped all the way up. The seams are heat-sealed. Sleeve cuffs with Velcro fasteners allow for easy adjustment of the sleeve openings. The loose, straight fit and ventilation eyelets under the armpits ensure excellent comfort. Ecoalf manufactures the jacket from recycled polyester with an internal polyurethane membrane. Since the windbreaker is lightweight, it’s also a reliable companion for travel, allowing you to enjoy stormy days at the beach as well as long hikes and bike rides with complete peace of mind. Two slanted side pockets with flaps over the openings hold small everyday items.

Spanish designer Javier Goyeneche has found his own way to combat raw material waste. Since 2012, his label Ecoalf has been producing fashion made from recycled fibers. A key project is “Upcycling the Oceans,” founded in 2015, in which more than 4,000 fishermen and fisherwomen from Spain, Thailand, Greece, Italy, France, and Egypt now recover plastic waste from the ocean. This waste is transformed into yarn, which is then used to create clothing, shoes, and accessories. In addition, Ecoalf is also involved in recycling textile fibers, specifically cotton and wool—and finally, Ecoalf has also mastered the challenge of repurposing old car tires as outsoles for shoes.
