G-1000

Adaptable for a lifetime in nature

Hardwearing
Customisable weather protection with Greenland Wax
Ventilating

G-1000 is our cornerstone material. We use it in everything from backpacks to jackets and trousers. It’s a densely woven fabric made from 65% polyester and 35% cotton and, by using Greenland Wax, it’s adaptable to a whole variety of different climactic conditions. So with the right care, it’ll last for ages and join you on all kinds of adventures.

As part of our commitment to using more recycled and organic materials, we now have Eco versions – made from recycled polyester and organic cotton – of all our G-1000 fabrics. Find out about how we work with sustainable materials here.

Since 1968

Since we launched G-1000 in 1968, we’ve developed a range of different versions. They’re all hardwearing, ventilating, wind-resistant and offer protection from UV rays. By adding Greenland Wax they become water-resistant too and even more wind-resistant and durable. But each of our five G-1000 versions has its own specific benefits. You can find out more below.

Care & Repair

Made from a mixture of beeswax and paraffin, Greenland Wax is a simple, nature-inspired solution to the challenges faced in the outdoors. Most of our G-1000 materials come pre-waxed, but it’s still a good idea to know how to re-apply and remove the wax to adapt your jacket to the conditions. Note that Greenland Wax offers water-resistance, not waterproofness. Find out the difference here.

"A well-proven outdoor classic that will prepare you for all types of adventures, all year round, without limitations."
