TENCEL™ Lyocell material

FEEL LIKE NYLON - BUT IT'S CELLULOSE FIBER

WITH THIS LIGHTWEIGHT CELLULOSE JACKET WE LAUNCH A TEXTILE INNOVATION IN 2022

The all-in-one jacket: water-repellent, windproof, keeps you warm, but not too much? What used to only work with 100% nylon is now possible with 100% organic fibers. With our new Lightweight Windstopper jacket made of cellulose, we not only bring one of the greatest innovations to the market, but also herald a new era in which highly functional, bio-based outdoor fashion begins. A big announcement for the entire industry and an absolute must for anyone who values ​​sustainability and function.

In the textile industry it goes without saying that the perfect summer jacket must be made of 100% nylon. In spring 2022, JECKYBENG will show that there is another way. The windproof and water-repellent Lightweight Jacket (530 g) protects the wearer from sudden summer showers by using the newly developed, radically natural surface protection RUCO-DRY BIO CGR . With its minimalist design, it dispenses with superfluous decorative elements and focuses on maximum freedom of movement and breathability - whether in nature or in the city.

The new TENCEL™ Lyocell material

For the first time in history, 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers have been transformed into a super light, windproof and durable high-performance material. TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are derived from sustainable wood sources, harvested from certified and controlled sources using a closed production process.
The resulting tree fibers are first crushed and softened in a process to dissolve the cellulose into pulp. By adding heat, the remaining water is removed from the mass until the cellulose separates out again and a dope is formed. This is filtered and pressed through spinnerets and then processed into fibers in a centrifugal bath.
