Picture Skipants for Men WELCOME 3L BIB - Black

Informations from picture:

The ultimate freeride pant. The Welcome Pants include our newest biobased fiber technology, made from sugarcane waste that is then converted into biobased polyester. The Welcome pant features our Dryplay 20K/20K membrane and durable PFOA/PFOS-free water repellency for maximum waterproofing and a 3-layer stretch fit for maximum freedom of movement. The jacket-pant interface complements the snow skirt for total protection all day long. To keep moisture out, its seams are fully taped and the YKK® zippers are waterproof. But if you really need more breathability, we also added zippered ventilation zones at the thighs. For added convenience, the I-Fit system allows you to raise the bottom of the pant for post-ride use, and its bombproof coating protects against edge damage.

Why Picture make it as green as possible?

- Vegan:

Animal welfare is part of our interests in sustainability. Important issues come out of down, feathers, leather and wool sourcing because of the harsh treatments on animals. More and more, we look for alternatives to animal products. Synthetic down, polyurethane leather, bio-based materials. Alternative solutions are available.

- Longterm factory process improvement:

Since 2009 only 2 factories produce more than 80% of our products and we have been business partners. It is a key benefit to involve our suppliers and get involved in the supply chain.

Beyond the basic business relationship between a brand and its suppliers, a long term partnership allows to build trust, gain knowledge and find solutions to specific environmental and social issues.

- Carbon Footprint:

We are able to track our carbon footprint at each processing stage of a product’s lifecycle. From the raw materials to the factory and from transportation to product use and end of life. We can assess and compare our production to a conventional industrial production, then translate our emissions-savings into kilometers travelled by car, for a clear and understandable information.

Additionally, we use Higg Index as a tool to assess the impact of the raw materials on different aspects (carbon emissions, water consumption and water eutrophication) and guide design.

( 285 000 km car saved for the whole pants collection ).

- Durable PFC-free water-repellent treatment:

100% of our performance products use PFC free water repellent treatments. PFCs (perfluorocarbons) are chemical substances that have been used widely and for a long time in the outerwear industry to give water resistance to textile products.

During production and even during usage, a piece of clothing will release PFC into the air, harmful particules to human and the environment. Our solution to prevent this is Teflon EcoElite™, which is PFC free and offer a similar durability.
