Do outdoor jackets damage nature? Life cycle assessment of multifunctional clothing

Multifunctional clothing should protect against rain, snow or cold. That sounds good. But it often leaves traces in the environment.

Marc Winkelman

Life in nature can be so easy. Just get out and up the mountain, preferably with a few friends, and when night falls you unpack your provisions and light a campfire. These are the images that many manufacturers of outdoor clothing use to advertise themselves on websites and in brochures. Their promise: It doesn’t take much for the great adventure, far away from any civilisation.
