2023 FOCUS TOPIC

Evolution and Revolution: From Membranes to the Carbon Story

In recent times, changes in our world have become more noticeable, partly due to increased communication channels. The pace of change seems to be speeding up. The two iconic products in the Outdoor & Sports Industries, the waterproof breathable jacket and the fleece, are currently undergoing significant transformations, largely due to impending legislation.

These times of dynamic change have raised a fundamental question: Is it better to evolve or revolutionize? Evolution involves improving existing products without significant changes, while revolution entails almost creating entirely new categories.
