What is ECONYL® ?

.

What is ECONYL® nylon and what makes it so amazing? 

So what exactly is ECONYL® yarn?

.

.

It is a yarn that performs exactly the same as traditional nylon, but it is created from nylon waste that would otherwise be polluting the planet. Nylon waste includes fishing nets, carpet flooring and industrial plastic that are then transformed into a new yarn with the same characteristics as fossil-based material.

.

.

ECONYL® nylon can be recycled and remoulded over and over again. Nylon is a highly stretchable fabric, it is strong and durable, with moisture wicking and heat retention properties too, as well as being UV resistant - making it such a good choice for equestrian wear and the demands we put on our clothes as riders.

.

.

 As well as being a solution to waste, for every tonne of ECONYL® raw material produced, 7 barrels of oil are saved and 6,5 tonnes of CO2 equivalent are avoided.

Many of our products are made with this wonderful fabric, from our super popular base-layers, our competition shirts, compression sports bras and track pants. It’s always been a goal at DVR to create quality over quantity with our products. Which is why we take time creating useful and practical products, thinking about the longevity of the items so that you can love your purchase for years to come knowing that it enhances your performance, and helps the environment too.
