Eco and Active
Agoura Hills–based outdoor-apparel maker Gramicci launched a new material that is good for performance and for the environment. Evo-Tek is a dual color–plated single jersey knit made from a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester. Men’s and women’s apparel made from Evo-Tek is in the Fall 2009 Greenicci collection, Gramicci’s eco division. The fabric’s moisture-management properties make it a good base layer, and Gramicci’s designers have included other performance-minded details such as kangaroo pockets, thumb holes and snap gators in the apparel to make the pieces good severe-weather options.
