The Freeride Idea Contest 2015

WWII pilots in the UK had great natural cotton jacket impregnated by a special process to make it waterproof. They had to have fire resistant stuff. We have nice merino wool underwear, but now we need the outerwear to be made of natural fibers (organically grown) too. The same or similar impregnation process could be used to replace chemical membrane products and strong fibers like hemp or knaff to replace the petroleum based ones. Just a matter of R+D. Zipper material could be made of organic resin composites as well.
Furthermore, it could have great safety implications for helicopter pilots and heli ski-guides that would be better off with more fire-resistant natural fiber clothing.

I'm not sure that skiers cloathing will develop in that way using natural fibers. Unfortunatly more and more artifical fibers will be introduced Uros Obradovic

Maybe you're wrong Capo! ptor

I hope so. Uros Obradovic

Research and development makes wonders ;)

you never know what the future will offer!:) bonibom

The future of tomorrow is in your hands! bonibom
