Corks are popping for the naturally warmest soft-shell from <strong>Schoeller</strong>:<br />
corkshell TM wins OutDoor INDUSTRY AWARD 2012<br />
Sevelen, July 2012: The new corkshell TM technology from the Swiss fabric and<br />
technology specialists <strong>Schoeller</strong> Textil AG convinces the jury of international experts<br />
and wins one of the coveted OutDoor INDUSTRY AWARDS 2012 in the Material<br />
Innovation category at the OutDoor Fair Friedrichshafen. The technology, which makes it possible to create<br />
<strong>Schoeller</strong>’s warmest ever soft-shell, receives the award for particularly outstanding products.<br />
In the competition organised for the 7 th time by iF International Forum Design, 48 entrants out of a total of<br />
322 from 25 countries were distinguished with an OutDoor INDUSTRY AWARD 2012: Ten of them with a<br />
Gold Award. The award is a seal of quality and offers an added value to both the trade and consumers in<br />
terms of the function, innovation, durability and sustainability of products.<br />
50% higher thermal insulation<br />
With the award winning corkshell TM technology, the soft-shell<br />
pioneer <strong>Schoeller</strong> has, for the first time, succeeded in combining<br />
the outstanding natural features of cork with those of highperformance<br />
fabrics. corkshell TM displays significantly higher<br />
thermal insulation than comparable conventional soft-shell<br />
products and depending on the fabric structure, can be up to<br />
50%. corkshell TM thus offers a level of thermal insulation never seen before while also providing a high level<br />
of breathability. It incorporates the positive properties of natural cork without negatively affecting other<br />
functional features. In addition, corkshell TM is bluesign ® approved and therefore complies with the world’s<br />
strictest standard for textiles.<br />
The jury of international experts is made up as follows: Boris Gnielka (Outdoor Magazin, Stuttgart / Germany),<br />
Mark Held (European Outdoor Group, Zug / Switzerland), Monica Viganò (Outdoor Magazine, Meda / Italy), Nora<br />
Kühner (fashion design consulting, Munich / Germany and IDEAS Active Sports Design Network, Rorschach /<br />
Switzerland) as well as Alessandra Soresina (wildlife biologist, writer and photographer, Milan / Italy).
