Bio-Materials Meets Technical Apparel.
This project explores the use of bio-materials in textile and trim development in a product collection that is designed to hold up and perform for the true ski athlete. Two kits are designed around the use of AlgalTech, formulated by the Checkerspot group where they took oil derived from algae to produce materials to replace petroleum, commonly used in many performance materials. This opens more doors for natural building blocks through biotechnology. WNDR Alpine has strongly utilized AlgalTech to develop high performance material for their skis. This collection is meant to be a collaboration between the bridges of Checkerspot and WNDR to further expand on the ski industry through innovative material development.
