Pelliot partners with eVent Fabrics in PFAS-free move
Chinese high performance outdoor brand Pelliot is partnering with eVent Fabrics for its PFAS-free waterproof-breathable fabric technologies. It has chosen eVent’s alpineST and windstormST laminates for its collection for SS 2027. The alpineST laminate equips the brand’s Hard Shell Jacket, and windstormST will be used in its Soft Shell Jacket.
“The environmental hazards associated with chemical such as PFAS have become a pressing concern for the outdoor industry. Driving the transition toward PFAS-free and low-carbon textiles is not only an inevitable industry trend but also a fundamental responsibility and mission for leading brands,” said Zhao Le, Vice President of Pelliot
“As one of the fastest growing outdoor apparel brands in China, Pelliot is a volume leader, which means this partnership could have a real effect on attitudes towards PFAS in China’s explosive, multi-billion dollar outdoor sports market,” commented Chad Kelly, Vice President of eVent Fabrics.
