The future is not a destination point. It is the protection of everything that exists
Protection is an important part of the KRAKATAU brand DNA. We protect people from bad weather and personal data loss, we protect nature from pollution. We try to create things that will last for a long time. Since 1999, our team has been fusing outdoor and sports technologies into urban clothing, perceiving it as a piece of industrial art.
RECYCLED & RECYCLABLE
With each upcoming collection, we incorporate greater use of recycled and recyclable raw materials. We learned how to make our products entirely from postconsumer waste, where main fabric, lining material, accessories and insulation are all made from plastic bottles. We have also found a way to eliminate elastane which interferes with further fabric recycling but without compromising fabric elasticity due to the particular structure of its yarn.

MADE WITH RECYCLED CONTENT


ECO-FRIENDLY WATER REPELLENT COATING MADE OF NATURAL INGREDIENTS
PFCs are polyfluorinated man-made chemicals that negatively affect both the wearer and the environment. These fluorine-containing chemicals are used to give clothing water- and dirt-repellent properties. Mindful of these facts, we choose durable water-repellent coating based on natural ingredients, without PFC content.
ANTIBACTERIAL TREATMENTS
Unique cooling and antibacterial treatments technologies embedded into the fiber provide many benefits, from performance-enhancing to body temperature, odor control, health protection, and feel-good properties. This allows products to last longer between washes and over time.



TESTED
All our materials are tested for the absence of formaldehyde, prohibited azo dyes and other harmful substances, as well as for color fixation and durability. Our down is certified according to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS), the independent global standard ensuring respect for animal welfare. Live plucking and force-feeding are prohibited by RDS. Conscious of nature preservation, KRAKATAU also does not use leather.
AFTER-SALE SERVICE
We invest a lot of resources in development of the long-wear designs, and put a lot of effort into durability of our clothing. There is no concept of deadstock in our vocabulary. We provide our official KRAKATAU stores with basic repair and care supplies motivating the owners of our products to mend their clothes rather than dispose of. We warrant our goods and are ready to offer repair services for the unlimited time our customer is willing to use the product.
