Eclipse sports leggings are made using a very unique fabric. Patented in Japan, this particular fabric is probably the most sustainable polyester based textile on the market. It is made using recycled polyester fibre that began as used bottles and polyester clothing. This particular process produces a finished product that has the same quality and functionality of virgin polyester. What is particularly unique to this process of fabric making is it’s ‘closed-loop’. This means that the chemicals and water are being used over and over again meaning minimal environmental impact (the circle above the logo is our tribute to this special fabric).
But don’t just take our word for it:-
Endorsing entity: Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry, Japan.
