Hemp at the heart of new prAna fleece
Activewear brand prAna has launched a new fleece, the Cardiff, made from hemp, Tencel and recycled polyester. The California-based company described hemp as “one of the eco-friendliest textile fibres in the world” and said it fits perfectly into the sustainable clothing movement.

It went on to point out that hemp is a robust plant and can be grown without chemical pesticides or fertilisers, resulting in better health and safety for farmers and fertile soils. Besides its small ecological footprint, hemp has a natural climate regulating function, wicks moisture, is antimicrobial, sturdy and long-lasting.
