Pertex®, designer and manufacturer of high-performance fabrics, today announces a partnership with Stio™, the recently launched mountain lifestyle company. The Jackson Hole-based apparel and accessories brand has introduced five new styles featuring Pertex® Microlight in their new fall 2012/2013 collection.
Pertex provides fabrics to an array of top outdoor
industry manufacturers in the U.S. and Europe for creation of high-end
apparel and sleeping bags. Pertex’s reputation and range of high quality
fabrics is what brought Stio to the brand.
“Stio is committed to working with the highest-quality
ingredient brands wherever possible,” said Stephen Sullivan, founder of
Stio. “Pertex fit the bill perfectly, and we are excited to move forward
with our partnership into future collections.”
Pertex is featured in Stio’s men’s line
and is used in a variety of pieces, all of which have different
purposes for getting outside and put on display the full range of Pertex
relevance and performance. Pertex allows the Stio products to all find
the sweet spot in the fashion-meets-function arena, blending flawlessly
into the high-style aesthetic while still providing complete
protection.
Stio selected the Pertex® Microlight fabric to use in a variety of applications within their line. The
Pertex® Microlight range offers some of the softest and lightest fabric
available. Made from tightly woven yarns the Microlight fabrics are
downproof and windproof, water-repellent and durable.
Perfected during intensive research and development,
Pertex® Microlight has proved to be a very successful product and is
used today in many insulated apparel and sleeping bags around the world.
