100% Recycled AND Sports Performance
-
How did we do it?

Starting with the Fabric...

 Adaptek™
Fabric

Our newly developed 100% recycled Adaptek™ fabric uses the most eco-friendly ‘Recover’ yarn in the world, according to the Higg Materials Sustainability Index impact rating. With added recycled elastane, and a brushed inner layer,  you can enjoy the ideal balance between being as eco-friendly as possible, while also being a high performance technical garment.

Each Afterglow active jacket will help save the environment up to 14 PET bottles, 19.7 kWh of energy, 8 kg of CO2 and 5,278 litres of water, per garment.

Temperature
Control

The Adaptek™ fabric has an additional textile technology, which intelligently regulates temperature, triggered by your own body heat.

Cooling is activated by rising body temperature, cooling up to 2.5°C/4.5°F, and then deactivated once you finish the activity, and your body starts to cool down.

This means the fabric constantly adapts to any level of activity, keeping you cool and comfortable all day long.

Self-Sanitising
Technology

Adaptek™ has also been infused with an advanced hygiene preserving technology for textiles, reducing odour from sweat while doing activity. Meaning you keep fresh all day, plus you can wash the garment less often. Further saving water and energy for the life of the jacket!

The AFTERGLOW jacket's self-sanitising fabric will also keep you protected from dirt or contaminants floating around in the air, landing on the fabric. The fabric surface is hygienically restored within 5 minutes, keeping you fresh and ready to go everyday. 

How we compare

We think the Afterglow Active jacket is both more sustainable, and has more features, than any other mid-layer fleece, jacket or hoodie currently available on the market, and for a lower price.

Zero Metal Reinforced Eyelets

  We have used 100% recycled polyester thread to reinforce the stitch holes in the hood. So you can cinch down as firmly as you want on those chilly days, and keep yourself toasty warm - Rock on!

Core Concept:
Sports Performance +
Save The Planet

The core focus, is on being able to use the Afterglow Active Jacket both for indoor sports or fitness, and also outdoor for any adventure you want to go on. While still maintaining our totally unique of approach, that every single component in the jacket is 100% recycled - A WORLD FIRST !!

Based on thousands of hours of testing in the field, and detailed customer feedback, we have created a more technical and high performance product, for our debut crowdfunding campaign.

We wanted the AFTERGLOW jacket to be high performance, while being of equal quality to anything else, if not better. It had to tick the eco box in every way, with no compromises, but also look stylish and trendy at the same time.

We want your jacket to be your favourite garment for every great session, indoors or out, so you can feel good about the workout. Not forgetting the core concept that this is about saving the Planet too -  something now everyone wants to play their part in, and you can be the first.

Ready For Any
Adventure

We've tested the Afterglow Active Jacket in the most extreme conditions so you don’t have to.
Whether you're conquering mountains or exploring summer lakes, we've got you covered for any adventure you can think of.

Premium Accessory Features

Arm Utility Pocket

For added luxury, the Afterglow Jacket has four (4) fully zippered pockets in total (plus a hidden extra inner secure pocket).
We got you covered, whatever adventure you want to take on!

The arm utility pocket has been specifically designed to fit a smartphone, and zip up for a snug fit so you can listen to your tunes without the phone moving around.

  • Fully zippered pocket to keep your phone secure
  • No more running armbands - Specifically engineered to replace velcro arm straps
  • Fits even the largest form factor smartphones
  • Looks cool!

Chest Map Pocket

For even more storage options, we also added a chest pocket.
The size is actually an exact match to the arm pocket, so you can also keep your phone here if you prefer, or alternatively store a map or ID for your next adventure.

  • Additional fully zippered pocket to keep your valuables secure
  • Fits even the largest form factor smartphones
  • It works great for lift passes too!

Zippered Side Pockets

Both side pockets also come complete with zips, to keep your hands nice and warm, or just keep your stuff safe. Once secure, the zip tucks neatly behind a discrete flap at the top of the pocket, for a clean and sharp aesthetic.

  • 2x Zippered side pockets
  • Zip storm flap

+

Inner Keys Pouch

This inner secure pouch inside the left pocket, is the perfect place to keep your keys while working out or going for a run, so that they don’t jangle around. 

  • Hidden inner secure keys pouch!

Double-Lined Insulated Hood

The hood is a 3-Section design, to allow the hood to contour the head and face to retain warmth and also for a better aesthetic look.
Further boosting the insulation of the Afterglow jacket, we double-lined the hood with an ultra soft version of our Adaptek jersey fabric. For those colder training days, or just when you want to feel snug by the campfire.

  • 3-Section hood design contours the head for added warmth & comfort
  • Hood is insulated with double-lined fabric

Wind Resistant Neckline

The active jacket is designed with an extra high, raised neckline, providing protection from the wind and cold.

  • Wind resistant extra high neckline

+

Chin Zip Guard

To prevent chaffing, there is also a small flap of fabric, over the top of the central zip. So when you have the jacket fully zipped up, blasting down a mountain trail on your e-bike, there are no distractions and you can focus on your flow

  • Added chin zip guard to prevent chaffing

Athletic V-Tapered Fit

The seam lines on the waist of the jacket have been engineered to V-taper down from the wider shoulder.
This helps to retain warmth when fully zipped, and also ensures no excess fabric is flapping around while you are trail running into the mountains, or just on your way to the local bakery.

Premium Ribbed Cuffs & Hem

We have upgraded our design with premium ribbed wrist cuffs and hem, to give a more fitted and luxury look. So you can feel comfortably stylish while out on your park run.


Sustainable Production & Packaging

Zero Waste 'RePack' Returnable Bag and...

Although not directly part of the garment itself, the packaging is just as important to the overall eco impact of producing the AFTERGLOW active jacket.

Therefore, we will ship all AFTERGLOW jackets in a completely zero waste, returnable “RePack” bag, instead of a less sustainable cardboard box. Once you have taken your jacket out of the RePack bag, simply fold up the bag, pull out the pre-paid return label, and put the RePack bag in your nearest post box, and the bag will be returned to us.

Reuse is the most efficient way to reduce waste. Why? Because it eliminates unnecessary waste from single-use packaging. Every returned RePack bag reduces trash and removes the need to manufacture a new single-use plastic bag or a cardboard box. It's a super simple solution to reduce trash and CO2 emissions.

...Sustainable '360' Production Approach

While the AFTERGLOW active jacket concept was designed and prototyped in London, we will produce all the fabric and the jackets with our technologically state of the art, and eco-conscious factory partner nearby in Portugal, lowering our carbon footprint.

The Portuguese are the leading manufactures of sportswear and jersey goods in Europe, and we are very proud to partner with a manufacturer committed to sustainable practices. With decades of experience, a total production capacity of over 120,000 products per day, we are confident the factory can deliver a high quality product on time for this project.

The factory also have a large scale dedicated waste processing centre, which upcycles all of the pre and post production factory textile waste. This means any leftover cuttings, thread or waste from producing the AFTERGLOW jacket gets upcycled and reused back into new yarn for a total ZERO waste approach, closing the loop!

The factory also hold a wide range of sustainability focused certifications, including: OEKO-TEX, GOTS, Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), Organic Content Standard (OCS), Global Recycle Standard (GRS), ISO 9001 & ISO 14001.
