Raincoats that Turn the Tide on Plastic Pollution

Inspired by our love of the sea, our innovative new coats give new life to plastic waste

06/08/19

With the beautiful Cornish sea and beaches on our doorstep, the issue of ocean plastic is dear to our hearts. Seasalt volunteers regularly take part in beach cleans but we wanted to do much more.

It felt especially important that the things we wear to enjoy the outdoors reflect our commitment to protect the natural environment. So, we introduced a new performance fabric to our Rain collection.

Tide Cycle® is woven from recycled materials such as used plastic bottles. It’s waterproof, breathable, hardwearing and extremely soft to the touch.

How Tide Cycle®  is made

  • Recyclable materials are collected and broken down.
  • The small particles are re-spun into new fibres.
  • These are then made into our Tide Cycle® yarns and fabrics.

After Care

To keep our Tide Cycle® coats in tip top condition year after year, we recommend taking a few easy steps to take care of them. Find out about our after care recommendations in our Raincoat Buying Guide
