HAVEN Stotz® EtaProof™

PEAK PERFORMANCE WITH NATURAL COMFORT AND BREATHABILITY

The process of making EtaProof™ begins with the highest grade, extra-long-staple organic cotton. These rare cotton fibres are carefully spun with high precision to create an even, uniform yarn and are then doubled to increase durability and abrasion resistance. Over 15,000 individual strands of yarn are then threaded onto the loom and woven into a fabric, a process that takes meticulous precision and several hours to complete, with resulting fabric containing over thirty percent more yarn than conventional cotton. After careful inspection and testing by the Stotz® team of textile experts to ensure the utmost quality, the fabric is then sent off for dyeing and finishing using a specially developed process. After dyeing, the fabric could be treated with a durable water repellency finish (DWR) on both sides of the fabric for added performance and water resistance.

This natural and sustainable fabric works in a deceptively simple way. When the tightly woven, extra-long-staple yarns are penetrated by water, they swell and create a barrier to additional moisture, while a hydrophobic impregnation provides additional water repellency. This tight weave also creates a windproof barrier and allows the durable fabric to age gracefully over time without losing its functional properties. Pure cotton construction means that the fabric is one of the most breathable weatherproof fabrics on the market, and ensures the garments are soft, quiet and comfortable. For SS21 we utilize three variations of EtaProof™ fabrics..
