LO and LAKA are the result of a thorough development process, where hiking and high demands on sustainability were in focus. LO Jacket and Pant are perfect when demanding lightweight and packability, and the fabric has a stretch functionality for optimal freedom of movement and comfort.

– A common mistake is to choose an all-season garment that claims to handle all kinds of weather. It’s a little like choosing an all-season tire for the car, which is seldom a good idea. We don’t believe in this compromise, but instead choose garments according to the weather. When it rains, you choose a membrane; otherwise you should choose a fabric that breathes better. LO is light, doesn’t take a lot of space, and should always be in a backpack, says Lundhags designer Karin Kinander.

The shell products comprise a three-layer membrane for maximum performance, breathability and comfort, which was tested in both the laboratory and the mountains. The lab test were conducted by Sport Tech Research Centre in Östersund, an independent research center in collaboration with Mid Sweden University.

LO and LAKA are made of recycled polyester (i.e. old plastic bottles and waste material) and is completely fluorocarbon-free. Further, they are made from only one material (one fiber), making them recyclable. The recycled polyester is bluesign approved (www.bluesign.com).

Sustainability is part of our DNA and our philosophy is for our products to have a long life and minimal environmental impact. To succeed with this, all of our garments have a timeless design that passes on trends. They are robust, sustainable and recyclable material and in this case made by one material whick makes it totally recyclable when worn out, says Sara Wiksten, Head of Production and Sustainability.

The products will be available at www.lundhags.com, at Lundhags own factory stores and retailers from week 10.
