Cordura powers latest collection from Black Yak
South Korean outdoor brand Black Yak and Invista’s Cordura brand will president a collaborative collection of outdoor apparel for Autumn/Winter 2017 at the forthcoming ISPO show in Munich (5-8 February). 

It features insulation and mid-weight layers designed with Cordura fabrics for enhanced durability and comfort. The range includes pants, shorts, shirts and jackets for use in mountain activities. 

Some of the garments were displayed at the recent Outdoor Retailer Winter Show in Salt Lake City, US (January 10-12), but the official European launch will take place at ISPO. The brand’s will hold an exclusive media event to introduce the collection in Munich. 

"At Blackyak, quality is key to the success of our products and that means sourcing performance fabrics that we know can stand up to the test," said Max Nortz, managing director at Blackyak. "Our 2016 collection with Cordura fabric was honoured at the ISPO awards with eleven wins, so working together again for the 2017 collection was top of our mind."

"Blackyak's approach to product design and dedication to quality is uncompromising,” added Cindy McNaull, global marketing director for the Cordura brand. “Their decision to use Cordura fabric continues to be an exciting opportunity to take our fabrics to new heights, literally and figuratively."
