Cocona

Cocona is derived from would-be discarded or "upcycled" Coconut shell husks. The husks are then processed into activated charcoal carbon and blended into a polyester matrix, which is spun into a fiber and then knit into a baselayer fabric. Cocona is integral to the fiber, naturally occurring and cannot wash out. 1) Dries incredibly fast, 25 percent faster, addressing the user's needs these days with shorter trips requiring maximum performance 2) Controls odor naturally, no anti-microbial treatment 3) Provides UV protection, resists UV rays, rated UPF 40 and up 4) Outstanding comfort, soft hand, luxurious next to skin 5) Natural & Permanent, naturally enhanced performance that lasts a lifetime.

Marmot Upcycle

Marmot Upcycle products utilize the discarded waste materials from manufacturing processes in the creation of new products in order to minimize our impact on the environment. Marmot's entire fall 2007 collection of men's and women's baselayer is made from Polartec PowerDry fabric with Cocona performance technology, a Marmot Upcycle product.
