L2 - MID LAYER & THERMAL LAYER
Provides further thermal insulation and helps transfer body moisture away from the skin thanks to its breathable qualities.

TECHSTRETCH™ STORM’s unique patented single layer woven technology unites softshell and fl eece into one, achieving the right balance between breathability, wind resistance and water repellency. Its densely woven surface blocks wind and water without the need of lamination making it durable over time.With its single layer construction, the fabric is lighter and less bulkier compared to 2 or 3 layer fabrics. Its soft, plush interior encapsulates warm air keeping body warm. It comes with moderate stretch for full body movement during activities while dissipating excessive heat at the same time.

This is the ideal fabric for outdoor and sports enthusiasts, for unexpected shift in weather conditions and to stay comfortably warm and dry. Regular 2 or 3 layer knitted fabrics tend to shed more microfi bers during wash due to delamination or loose knitting. With TECHSTRETCH™STORM’s unique single layer woven construction, fi bers are tightly woven together minimizing the amount of fi bers being released into water.Single layer means no foam and no adhesive in between. It also means dyeing the fabric once. That’s cutting back several steps in production - saving valuable energy and water resources.

At La Sportiva, we are outdoor enthusiasts and as such, we work hard every day to define our products down to the smallest detail, test their performances and look constantly for innovative solutions. Our Headquarters are in the mountains and we take to heart the improvement of eco-sustainable choices both in our daily work and in the product development and production processes.
We developed the RECYCLED logo system to communicate to customers the responsible choices we made during the product development phases, and that they can make by purchasing our products. The logo can be found throughout our apparel collection identifying items created with RECYCLED FABRIC, RECYCLED INSULATION or RECYCLED FABRIC & INSULATION.

RECYCLED FABRIC
We use recycled polyester and polyamide fibres. Recycled polyester fibers come from postconsumer PET bottles and recycled polyamide fibers are made with industrial waste.
• The garments carrying this logo contribute to protecting the natural resources and to reduce the environmental impact
• PFC free finishing
• Optimally and durable quality

Resistant:
Highly durable fibers

The term ‘microfi  bre’ is currently used to describe fi bres that are shed from clothing during production, consumer use, end of life and end up as pollution in the environment. Microfi bres can originate from all textiles and therefore can be comprised of both synthetic (plastic) and natural (cellulose/protein) materials. When washed, synthetic clothings shed tiny plastic fragments known as microfi bres (particles less than 5 mm in size). To prevent synthetic microfi bres, La Sportiva introduced new fabrics that reduce syntethic micro-shedding.
