Sustainable Materials & Construction

The Catton III prioritises eco-conscious performance by utilising a fully recycled and circular loop produced Sympatex® membrane, which reduces water usage by 50 percent during production. Protection is further bolstered by dedicated scaphoid and finger knuckle inserts, alongside reinforced outer seam overlays to prevent bursting during a slide. The interior is lined with plush microfleece, ensuring hands stay comfortable and dry during long commutes or touring stints in cold conditions.
