Seawastex\u00ae, it doesn\u2019t. Palm is the first brand to bring Seawastex\u00ae recycled nylon into technical paddlesport apparel, turning discarded fishing nets into premium drysuits, jackets, and pants. The result is fabric that is as tough \u2014 and in some cases tougher \u2014 than virgin nylon, certified to the Global Recycled Standard, and proven to cut carbon emissions by nearly half.<\/p><p><strong>Technical performance. Cleaner oceans. Stronger communities.<\/strong><\/p><p>From 2026, Palm Equipment will introduce Seawastex\u00ae recycled nylon into its apparel line \u2014 including jackets, drysuits, and pants in 2-layer, 2.5-layer, and 4-layer constructions. Every garment face fabric will be made from 100% Seawastex\u00ae recycled nylon, repurposing marine waste into premium paddlesport equipment.<\/p><p><strong>What is Seawastex\u00ae<\/strong><\/p><p>Seawastex\u00ae yarns are made from discarded marine nylon waste, mainly abandoned fishing nets. Through partnerships with coastal governments, fishing net manufacturers and specialist recyclers, these nets are collected, dismantled, cleaned and repurposed. Governments provide incentives for net returns and collection schemes, creating income opportunities for coastal communities while ensuring a steady supply of recyclable material.<\/p><p><strong>Performance without compromise<\/strong><\/p><p>Seawastex yarns match \u2014 and in some cases exceed \u2014 the durability, strength, and abrasion resistance of virgin nylon. Independent testing confirms they perform to the same high standards demanded of technical outdoor gear. In other words: recycled, but never second best.<\/p><p><strong>How Seawastex\u00ae works<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Collection \u2013 discarded fishing nets and other marine nylon waste are gathered through return schemes in Taiwan, providing value to local communities.<\/li><li>Chemical recycling \u2013 advanced depolymerization is used to break the nets back down into caprolactam, the raw material for nylon.<\/li><li>Fibre production \u2013 the caprolactam is spun into new, high-performance Seawastex\u00ae nylon fibres.<\/li><li>Fabric weaving \u2013 Mills weave these fibers into durable, high-quality yarns that are then made into the waterproof fabrics used in Palm gear.<\/li><li>Garment manufacturing \u2013 Palm makes these fabrics into paddlesport jackets, trousers and drysuits, high performance gear for your next adventure.<\/li><\/ul><p>This is not a token gesture; it\u2019s a significant move across Palm\u2019s apparel line. From 2026, key XP4 and XP 2.5-layer products will use Seawastex\u00ae, showing that recycled fabrics can meet the highest demands of paddlers worldwide. Every step forward means cleaner oceans, stronger coastal communities, and less reliance on virgin materials \u2014 without sacrificing one ounce of performance.<\/p><p>For decades Palm has pioneered what paddlers wear on the water. Seawastex\u00ae is the next step in that journey: technical performance, cleaner oceans, stronger communities. Recycled, but never second best.<\/p><p>Cuts carbon emissions by up to 49% and saves 15% energy.<\/p><p>Recycled, but never second-best.<\/p><p><strong>Specs<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Used in Palm drywear from 2026:<\/li><li>XP 4-layer : Atom, Bora, Cascade, Atom<\/li><li>235 g\/m\u00b2, PFAS free, Seawastex\u00ae XP 4-layer fabric, breathability 5,000 g\/m\u00b2\/24hr (A-1 method), waterproofness 30,000 mm<\/li><li>XP 2.5 layer \u2013 Surge, Zenith, Mistral<\/li><li>160 g\/m\u00b2, PFAS free, Seawastex\u00ae XP 2-layer fabric, breathability 5,000 g\/m\u00b2\/24hr (A-1 method), waterproofness 10,000 mm<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85f9ce3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"85f9ce3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=0xWmhZkhhR4&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-4ffdbb7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4ffdbb7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c081e91\" data-id=\"c081e91\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac5dbc5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ac5dbc5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/palm.equipment\/gb\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.thepaddlesportshow.com.srv04.kairios.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/palm.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1204\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.thepaddlesportshow.com.srv04.kairios.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/palm.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dev.thepaddlesportshow.com.srv04.kairios.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/palm-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev.thepaddlesportshow.com.srv04.kairios.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/palm-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c29ce24\" data-id=\"c29ce24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-89b7c39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"89b7c39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><p><strong>Palm Equipment<\/strong><\/p><p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Palm Equipment is a family-owned business creating premium paddlesports gear from its UK and Vietnam facilities.
