As an outdoor clothing brand that believes we’re at our best in nature, Stormtech is committed to sustainability and protecting the natural environment.
So when we learned about the harmful impact PFCs have on people and the environment, we decided it was time to find a better, PFC-Free solution for our DWR (Durable Water Repellent) products.
Perfluorinated carbons (PFCs) are manufactured compounds that are used in DWR treatments of high-performance outerwear to create a breathable fabric that is water and oil repellent.
However, studies have shown that PFCs have the potential to cause environmental and health issues, leading many industry-leading brands to move away from PFCs.
