Ternua launches a completely new autumn winter spirit outdoors collection

Designed for the everyday lives of people who want to connect with nature while wearing sustainable and multi-use clothing, Spirit Outdoor has garments with a unique design that sends several messages about protecting the environment. In the 2021-2022 autumn-winter collection Ternua has included garments made with sustainable and highly innovative materials, including new textiles and fillings.

From jackets with Stormfleece Pro textile that provides protection from wind and water at the same time without losing transpirability and that barely loses fibers when it's washed (WINDGI JKT) to jackets with Fellex Eco filling that is an alternative to down and that comes from post-industrial waste (MIRBO JKT) including sweaters with recycled eco merino wool (DANGALI and BENALLA) and pants made from hemp, a plant based textile fiber that is soft and very strong.

The garments in this line that come from their unique projects are also notable. The projects include REDCYCLE (2015) that used recycled abandoned fishing nets from the Cantabrian sea that Ternua has used to make insulating and thermal jackets (MURRAY JKT) and pants that are in the Autumn Winter 2021 Spirit Outdoors line. In addition to NUTCYCLE (2018) for recycling walnut shells from cider houses in Gipuzcoa that the brand has used to design naturally dyed t-shirts, and that has also evolved to use other non-edible agricultural waste like olives, beets and chestnut shells, to provide garments in soft earth tones that are environmentally friendly (MALBON T SHIRT). Another project that has a presence in this line of clothing is SEACYCLE (2019), in which Ternua recovered sea plastic that, when mixed with recycled PET plastic, was used to create a series of high quality t-shirts (DOBBYN T SHIRT).

And, lastly, ARTILESHELL (2020) is an initiative through which Ternua has given a second life to wool from latxa sheep (native to the Basque country) and turned it into a lightweight, compactible filling that regulates the temperature, including in urban style jackets with a message (WILLOWS JKT).

All the garments that have a water repellent treatment are PFC free, that means they have no environmentally toxic substances. That is something Ternua has been doing since 2018 when they became the first Spanish outdoor brand to completely eliminate PFCs from their water repellent treatments.

It's clearly a collection with a unique and casual personality that includes highly functional, multi-use and sustainable clothing that protects people and the environment at the same time. Already available at sales points.

Ternua continues their commitment to circularity with a SS 2026 collection where 70% of the garments are mono-material

It should be noted that 70% of the pieces in this new collection are mono-material.

Ternua makes progress in circularity with a 50% mono-material fw 2025-2026 collection

Ternua, the Spanish outdoor brand with environmentally friendly production since 1994, presented the collection they designed for the upcoming cold season at their 2025-2026 fall-winter convention. In pursuit of their goal to make progress in circularity to take on the greatest challenge for the textile industry, which is nothing other than decreasing the creation of textile waste and reusing it, half of the collection that will be in shops this coming September will be mono-material and circular, in other words, the garments will use recycled, recyclable or biodegradable, PFC free textiles with Bluesign or Oeko-Tex certification.
