Product Information

You can read more about the different concepts and certificates and their meanings below.

	GOTS: Global Organic Textile Standard, also known as GOTS, is a global labeling for ecological textiles, which covers everything from obtaining raw materials to environmentally and socially responsible production and to the finished product. GOTS certification’s Organic guarantees that the clothes are made of at least 95% organic materials and that the whole production is carried out in an environmentally and socially responsible manner -including the coloring process. There have thus been no health or environment straining chemicals in the production of the organic textiles.
	OEKO-TEX 100: OEKO-TEX labeling is a guarantee that the textiles do not contain harmful substances and chemicals. Within the OEKO-TEX 100 certification there are 4 product classes, of which POMPdeLUX only uses the best classification in their products – product class 1. That is a group that sets the highest requirements for products as it is approved for baby clothes. OEKO-TEX 100 certification ensures that the production is free from 100 different harmful substances according to the agreement. OEKO-TEX 100 certification sets stricter requirements than what EU legislation requires. Manufacturers who have OEKO-TEX certification are being monitored by the OEKO-TEX Association’s independent testing institutes specialized in textiles. At POMPdeLUX, all our manufacturers are required to follow OEKO-TEX 100 standards even if a product is not labeled with OEKO-TEX 100. We aim for all of our products to live up to the same restrictions as OEKO-TEX 100, even if they aren’t certified. As a minimum, our products comply with European legislation REACH.
	100% Merino wool: Merino wool has some good, natural qualities. Merino wool is dirt repellent and can keep your child warm when it’s cold and cool when it’s hot.
	UV40: Our swimwear is produced with UPF 40 UV protection. UV clothes protect better from the sun compared to regular clothing because the fabric is especially designed to hinder the sun’s harmful UV rays in different ways. In general, it is recommended to choose UV clothing with at least UPF 40. Always remember to cover your child’s exposed skin with sunscreen. The clothing provides extra protection, but is not sufficient protection in itself.
	Water repellent: Our outerwear is produced in a water repellent quality with a fluor-free impregnated surface. Water Repellent is an expression of the fact that the actual fabric is waterproof and that water runs off from it, but the product isn’t 100% waterproof unless it has taped seams.
	Waterpressure up to 10.000 mm: Our skiing clothes as well as shell and softshell series are produced in a waterproof quality with water column pressure of 10.000 mm. Water column pressure is an expression of the material’s ability to withstand water penetration form the outside. Thus, water column pressure of 10.000 mm means that the given material per square centimeter is able to withstand a 10-meter-high water column without water penetration.
	BIONIC-FINISH^®ECO - protected trademark of RUDOLF GROUP: All our outerwear in the Adventure series have BIONIC-FINISH^®ECO. BIONIC-FINISH^®ECO is a biodegradable surface treatment that ensures your product gets a surface that is water and dirt repellent, windproof and still breathable. This surface finish is completely free from fluoride substances.
	Breathability: Our outerwear is manufactured in materials that are able to transport moisture away from the body – therefore it is breathable. The breathability of a fabric is measured in MVP (Moisture Vapor Perspiration) and it tells you how much moisture can evaporate through the fabric per square meter per 24 hours. The higher the number is, the more comfortable the material is. At POMPdeLUX we use 5000 MVP.
	Mulesing free:The sheep that our wool comes from don’t undergo mulesing. Mulesing is a procedure in which strips of the sheep’s wool-bearing skin are removed around the breech. This is usually performed without anesthesia, which makes it very painful for the sheep. You can read more here here.
	No Animal Filling: Our outerwear is made of a synthetic down-like material of the highest quality. No Animal Filling is an expression of an ethically better alternative to down, and that is something we at POMPdeLUX want to fully support.
	Faux fur: Faux fur, also know as fake fur or imitation fur, is made of synthetic fibers that don’t come from animal. Faux fur is an ethically better alternative for genuine fur, and that is something we at POMPdeLUX want to fully support. Therefore, our products have 100% fake fur.
	Reversible: Reversible products are designed to be used on both sides, so the clothes don’t have a defined reverse side. By turning the product inside out, you’ll have a new look.
	Reversible sequins: Some products have sequins that change color when you sweep them with your hand. Reversible sequins are typically incorporated into a print to create more expressions and to make it more fun for a child to wear.
	EcoVero Viscose: EcoVero is a sustainable alternative to viscose, where the fibres are produced from pulp that comes from sustainable sources. EcoVero uses only certified wood from certified forests. Compared to the production of generic viscose, EcoVero is a much more environmentally friendly alternative as it generates up to 50 % less emissions and uses less water. Read more about EcoVero here.
	Recycled polyester, made from recycled plastic bottles: Together with REPREVE, POMPdeLUX’ aim is to create more sustainable clothing. REPREVE is world leading in recycled fibres. Used plastic bottles are cleaned, cut into small pieces, then melted and spun into recycled polyester. Read more about REPREVE’s work here.
	Recycled nylon: Recycled Nylon is an environmentally friendly material made from fishing nets and nylon waste from the industry. Nylon preserves its nice qualities during the recycling process, and recycled nylon is therefore both durable and long-lasting, just like “new” nylon. Recycled nylon is good for the environment as it reduces the amount of plastic in the oceans, while ensuring nice and durable clothing for your child.
	Waterproof membrane FAN-TEX: All our ski gloves are designed with an extra waterproof FAN-TEX membrane, securing that the gloves are both waterproof, sweat-regulating and breathable. It ensures that the child can maintain the right temperature even on the cold days.
	TPU Coating: All our ski wear are treated with TPU Coating, which stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane. Other than making the outerwear wind and waterproof (water column pressure of 10.000 mm), it is also breathable, ensuring that the child is kept dry from the inside as well, preventing moist skin and risk of cooling. TPU has a soft texture and high elasticity, securing great movement.
	Taslon 320D: Taslon 320D is a woven material made from 100% polyamid. We use it in our ski and shellwear, because it is highly durable (100.000 rubs), has great moveability and can withdure countless hours of play. The material is wind, waterproof (waterpressure 10.00 mm) and breathable (8000 mvp) due to a TPU coating on the inside. In addition the outside surface is waterrepellent due to a BIONIC-FINISH^®ECO coating. The material is therefor wind and waterproof and can hold water and out, while transporting moist away from the body keeping the child dry and comfortable.
	*Oxford 200D300D:** Oxford 200D*300D is a woven material made from 100% polyamid. We use it in our skiwear, bacause it is highly durable (100.000 rubs) and can endure countless hours of playtime. The material is finished with a waterrepellent coating (BIONIC-FINISH^®ECO) on the surface and a waterproof (10.000 mm) and breathable (8000 mvp) TPU coating on the inside. The material is therefor wind and waterproof and can hold water and out, while transporting moist away from the body keeping the child dry and comfortable.
	High abrasion resistance: At POMPdeLUX, we strive for the clothes to last as long as possible - and therefore some of our clothes go under the term high abrasion resistance. This means that the outerwear are made of extra strong and durable materials, which makes it almost impossible for the child to wear up. Abrasion resistance is measured in 'rubs' and is most often usedin regards to technical outerwear. Our ski and shelwear has an abrasion resistance on minimum 100.000 rubs, which is in the highest end of the scale.
	3M Thinsulate padding: 3M Thinsulate padding is an insulating filling that we use in our skiwear, which ensures that the child can keep warm outside. It's crafted from 100% polyester and is a great alternative to real down. The filling is a light-weight material and ensures that the child have full range of movement. In addition, it's sweat-regulating. 3M is one of the leading producers of insulating filling.
	Wind proof: Much of our outerwear is windproof, which means you can safely send the child out in stormy weather. The windproof material ensures that the wind and cold can not penetrate the outerwear and that the child can keep warm.
	3M reflective details: At POMPdeLUX, we strongly believe that design and functionality must go hand in hand and therefore much of our outerwear have 3M reflective details. This means that the outerwear has strong reflective details in the design, which means that the child clearly can be seen from a distance in the dark winter months. We use 3M because of their high brightness and great duirability in use and wash.
	Thermolite padding: Thermolite padding is a light down-like filling, which ensures the child high breathability for play outside and that they can keep warm during the cold winter months. It's made from 100% polyester and is great alternative to real down. The filling is a light-weight material and ensures that the child have full range of movement. In addition, it's sweat-regulating and highly breathable. Thermolite is one of the leading producers of insulating filling.
	Cotton Poplin: Cotton poplin is characterized by an almost crispy material, which has a softer surface than traditional cotton. Cotton poplin feels soft against the skin and often adds a finer and more exclusive look to the outfit.
	Seersucker: Seersucker is a cottonfabric with a crepeeffect, that is often characterized by beeing striped or checked.
	Gold shimmer: Styles with gold shimmer have a beautiful glittery look, as the material contains a golden thread or fine, soft metal fibers. As the shimmer is knitted or woven into the fabric in a special way, it won’t be itchy or irritate the skin.
	Terry: Terry is a type of fabric often associated with towels, but also very cool for clothes. The material is made up of little loops giving it a lightly rough surface. Terry can be used all over a garment or as artwork.
	Double Gauze: Two fine layers of cotton are attached together by small stitches. The cotton layers are loosely woven, and double gauze has more texture than other kinds of cotton fabric and feels very airy and soft.
	2 in 1 Style: A 2 in 1 style can be used in more than one way. It does not have a front or a backside but can be reversed and worn both ways. It gives you two products in one with different looks.
	Crepe: Crepe is a type of weaving that gives a crisp, rippling fabric with a delicate look. It's a good choice for children's clothes as it has a natural crinkled look and doesn't need ironing.
