The jacket is constructed as a waterproof style that is made from [recycled plastic water bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patagonia-retrox-jacket) and coffee grounds, which work together to give it a tough yet eco-focused design. The jacket is finished with a [PFC-free DWR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/montane-phase) for enhanced water resistance and has a four-way stretch to allow the garment to move with the wearer. The Coalatree Barrage Technical Shell is lightweight enough to be easily carried when not in use, while a series of reinforced seams promise to deliver enhanced durability when being worn in more demanding excursions or longer term trips. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-friendly Outerwear:** Opportunities exist to develop and market more sustainable clothing made from recycled and eco-friendly materials. - **Water-resistant Clothing:** Innovations in environmentally-friendly water-resistant materials can lead to new products and industries. - **Four-way Stretch Fabric:** Development of new four-way stretch materials can result in more comfortable, durable and versatile clothing options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Apparel:** Outdoor apparel manufacturers and retailers can invest in and expand their lines of eco-friendly clothing with enhanced features. - **Sustainable Fashion:** The sustainable fashion industry has an opportunity to create and promote environmentally-conscious clothing options for consumers. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Textile manufacturers can invest in research and development of eco-friendly materials and production processes for clothing and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Consciously Designed Climbing Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m10-anorak.md) - [Circular Winter Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everpuff.md) - [Recycled Tire Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kathmandu-epiq-se.md) - [Technical Weatherproof Jacket Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khl-the-one-shell.md) - [Weatherproof PFAS-Free Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcteryx-revised-beta.md) - [Recycled Polyester Fleece Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patagonia-retrox-jacket.md) - [All-Weather Travel Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpargali-jacket.md) - [Ethical Merino Wool Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-kite-jacket.md) - [Adventurous Alpine-Ready Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houdini-moonwalk-houdi.md)
