Youngone Outdoor Corporation, which operates The North Face in Korea, unveils a collection that marks a new era of outdoor performance wear with circular design at its core. Blending technical durability with refined design, the launch introduces the first Woolmark certified Recycled Wool products, tested for quality and performance to set a new benchmark in outdoor apparel.
In a world first, Youngone Outdoor Corporation, which operates The North Face in Korea pioneers the use of the Woolmark certified Recycled Wool logo. In a performance wear collection featuring a recycled wool fleece jacket, 100% Merino wool sweater and a hoodie engineered for less waste, each piece is built for life in the great outdoors to lively city streets and everywhere in between.
Reclaiming pre-consumer wool, the Recycled Wool certification guarantees that products contain at least 20% recycled wool, giving existing wool fibres a new life. Each Recycled Wool certified product taps the wool fibre’s renowned softness, comfort, performance and its unique ability to be reimagined into something new.
Hero styles include a wool fleece jacket and vest crafted from recycled wool blends, a 100% Merino wool sweater and a wool-blend hoodie engineered with Wholegarment® knitting technology to decrease material waste. In a palette of gentle cream, soft mint and deep black, the collection sees function and form combine for a lifestyle that seamlessly shifts gears between outdoor pursuits to urban streetscapes, as easily as its wearer.
The collection keeps things simple, letting the wool fibre do what it does best – warmth, comfort and performance. Naturally breathable, moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating, the wool fibre is built to handle cold weather without extra weight or bulk.
From mountaintops to streetscapes, these pieces are made for everyday adventurers, blending timeless style with practical performance, with wool as the circular fibre of choice.
