ECO FINISH
VAUDE products with Eco Finish are environmentally friendly, water-repellent and manufactured without fluorocarbons (PFC). PFCs belong to a group of chemical compounds that are used to impregnate the outer fabric of many outdoor products. They have been criticized because they are not degradable, accumulate in the body and are suspected of being harmful to health. VAUDE has made a clear commitment to completely avoid PFCs.
