Cycling apparel brand Le Col has used the new bio-based version of Polartec Power Shield fabric in four of the garments in its latest collection for road cycling.

Fabric creator Polartec launched this new version of Power Shield in late 2022, putting a renewable, non-GMO plant-based nylon called Biolon into the three-layer shell material. It has calculated that Biolon has a 50% lower carbon footprint than virgin nylon-6,6 and a reduced reliance on fossil resources.
