This innovative material composition guarantees 100% comfort in a wide range of uses and temperatures.

Loftshell® products

The Loftshell® Climate series combines high-quality merino wool, our G-LOFT® Climate Lining and a low-noise outer fabric to ensure efficient moisture transport. This “Every Day Carry” jacket consists of a highly breathable, comfortable 4-way stretch outer material, the G-LOFT® Climate Lining and an extremely comfortable merino wool inner material. This unique combination makes it exceptionally comfortable to wear.

The Loftshell® Climate offers both water and wind-repellent properties without the need for a membrane. Thanks to its wide temperature range, this outdoor jacket offers a wide range of uses. The jacket impresses with its low-noise properties and has four pockets, two inner mesh pockets and an integrated hood. The design is clear and simple.

The Loftshell® Hydro is an innovative, low-noise outdoor jacket. The G-LOFT® Climate Lining absorbs moisture and releases it efficiently to the outside through the membrane, creating a pleasantly dry feeling on the skin. Inside, the Loftshell® Hydro is equipped with G-LOFT® Climate Lining and an extremely thin ultra inner fabric. Its special construction includes an outer fabric with an integrated membrane and fully taped seams – guaranteed waterproof and windproof. The jacket has three pockets and two inner mesh pockets.

NANUK Embraces Recycled Materials to Launch The NANUK-R Collection, a Range of Sustainable High-End Protective Cases

Thursday, February 22nd, 2024

By reducing the demand for virgin resins, the collection minimizes the strain on our planet’s resources and supports the circular economy, making NANUK the first brand to offer high-end hardcases made of post-consumer recycled resin.

Terrebonne, Quebec, February 15th, 2024 – NANUK, a Canadian brand known for manufacturing high-performance protective cases supplied to over 50 countries, announces the NANUK-R Collection, a new eco-friendly line of protective cases made from over 80% post-consumer recycled resin. Combining innovation with environmental responsibility, this product range maintains the durability, reliability, and functionality that NANUK is recognized for.

The NANUK-R Collection was designed with the purpose of tackling the pressing environmental issues faced today. More than 3 million tonnes of plastic waste are discarded each year, but only a mere 9% of it is recycled. The remaining waste ends up in landfills, waste-to-energy facilities, or surrounding areas. The Collection makes a tangible impact on environmental pollution by utilizing engineered post-consumer recycled materials that reduce virgin resin demand. Like all NANUK products, the NANUK-R Collection offers a lifetime warranty that further perpetuates product longevity.

“Our commitment to sustainability is not just a corporate responsibility; it’s a moral imperative,” said José Chagnon, President & CEO at NANUK. “This high-quality product range is a testament to our company’s dedication to reducing waste and fostering a more responsible approach to equipment protection.”

The NANUK-R Collection features an integrated soft grip ergonomic handle, an automatic pressure release valve and an exclusive locking and unique latching system for strengthened security. This makes the cases an ideal and robust choice for transporting and safeguarding valuable personal and professional equipment such as batteries, lenses, cameras, microphone systems, small pistols, medical devices, first aid kits, emergency gear, and sensitive instruments.

“We are confident that our customers across military, law enforcement, medical and industrial safety trades will welcome this timely and significant introduction to post-consumer, military-certified cases,” added Philippe Koyess, VP of Innovation & Product Development. “By choosing our sustainable cases made with recycled thermoplastic resin, our customers become a part of the solution without compromising their structurally sound, wear-resistant, and impact-resistant characteristics.”

The NANUK-R Collection is now available on the company’s website, marking a meaningful milestone in the company’s journey toward an eco-friendly future. For more information, please visit NANUK.com or contact Charles Benoit.
