In-Depth Review
Revolutionary Recycled Insulation
The Re-Down Scarf is a testament to Everlane's commitment to eliminating virgin plastics and animal products where recycled alternatives exist. It utilizes 100% recycled down feathers collected from used pillows and comforters. This process gives a second life to high-quality insulation that would otherwise end up in a landfill, while simultaneously sparing new birds from the plucking process.
Materials and Construction
The outer shell is constructed from 100% recycled polyester derived from plastic water bottles. This fabric is GRS certified, ensuring that the claims of recycled content are tracked and verified from source to final product. The scarf is treated with a PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, avoiding the 'forever chemicals' typically used in outdoor gear.
- Insulation: 100% Recycled Down/Feathers.
- Shell: 100% Recycled Polyester (GRS Certified).
- Coating: PFC-Free Water Resistance.
