As part of its Green at Heart sustainable mission, Isbjörn of Sweden is introducing natural bamboo fibres to its Husky Base Layer range for a/w 20.

The brand is adding the natural bamboo fibres to the inside of the base layers, which also feature mulesing-free merino wool as outer material. The development is part of the company’s commitment to make its garments more environmentally-friendly every season.

Isbjörn is a strong believer in ‘slow fashion’ and combating the effects over-production of clothing has on the environment.

The Husky range’s natural blend of materials, including 49% merino and 46% bamboo, offer a balance of sustainable durability, function and softness.

The merino wool keeps children warm in cold weather. The natural bamboo fibre, meanwhile, wicks moisture from the skin for effective vapour transmission. The range is also naturally anti-odour and anti-bacterial.

Isbjörn offers technical and sustainable outdoor clothing and accessories for children.

The Husky range comprises a Husky Jumpsuit Base Layer for babies; a Husky Sweater Base Layer; and the Husky Long John Base Layer for kids and teens.

As well as being quick-drying, the garments are suitable to wash at 40˚ with no effect on performance and without causing pilling.

The Husky range focuses on comfort not only through its materials, but also via the garments’ cut and fit. Husky Long Johns, for instance, have soft elastic in the waistline as well as extended height at the back.

Plus, the Husky range is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 approved.

OEKO-TEX® is a globally uniform testing and certification system for textile raw materials. The standard oversees intermediate and end products at all stages of production with the aim of completely eliminating harmful substances.
