stress. With TRU Zip, Nite Ize has
truly reinvented the zipper. Extrusion is the secret sauce that Nite
Ize uses to make a weldable zipper
with no teeth that is waterproof,
airtight, and silent when closed up.
The innovative new zipper behaves
more like a Ziploc bag but with an
insanely strong seal. Look for the
zipper in Nite Ize's accessory bags
and pack cubes. And because TRU
Zip zippers are available for OEM,
it's reasonable to expect them to
make an appearance in outerwear
over the next few years.
Dupont brought a new and
evolved technology to the Show
with its Sorona fiber, which replaces petroleum-based Propanediol
(PDO) with a corn-based PDO.
The resulting fiber is 37 percent
renewably sourced by weight, and
unbelievably soft. The company
was also showing its cruelty-free
faux fur. The hand of the faux fur is
so supple that the term "delicious"
doesn't do it justice.
Another example of the natural
evolution of game-changing fabric
blends is Cordura's new line of
NYCO MIL-Spec fabrics. Initially
these fibers made their mark in
base layers, but now the nylon-cotton NYCO staple knit fiber is
blended with the abrasion-resistant fabrics, making them perfect
for applications in outerwear.
Additionally, pieces built with the
new fabric won't stick to users in
high heat situations, as traditional
polymer-based baselayers tend to
do, which is especially relevant for
military and first responders.
If Utopia Green's offering of
plant-based dyes seems like a step
back in time, it is. Plants like turmeric, madder, safflower, and mulberry leaf have long been valued
for their pigments. Utopia Green
uses a low-temperature ultrasonic
dyeing technique to reduce carbon
emissions and waste water. It's a
perfect marriage of low tech and
high tech. And while the color
palette produced by plant dyeing is
void of neons and bright primary
colors, it's pleasing to the eye.
Meanwhile, Safe Reflection
Inc. uses dyeing and laser cutting
to make branding an option for 3M
Scotchlite's reflective taping. Brands
can provide artwork to Safe Reflections Inc., and they'll add a little
reflective pop to your outerwear,
while keeping users visible and safe
on the street or the trail.

Nite Ize gave
the TRU Zip
zipper a beating for us on
the Show floor.
