The new Rapala Eco Wear® Reflection jacket has been honored with the famous Red
Dot design award. This year, 1865 manufacturers, designers and architects from
54 countries were hoping to receive the coveted Red Dot award. It is one of the
most recognized and prestigious design awards in the world.
The awarded jacket is part of the Rapala Eco Wear product range that was
introduced to the public in 2011 with immediate success. The core values of the
range lay in its environmentally friendly production methods, sustainable
development and innovation.
The Rapala Eco Wear wading apparel are manufactured with a unique, ecological
process from DuPont(TM) that reduces its dependence on petroleum based products
by 30% and greenhouse gas emissions by 35% when compared to the traditional
production methods.
Apart from the ecological aspect, the jacket features a design protected pattern
that mimics natural light reflections in the aquatic environment. Thanks to the
asymmetry of the pattern, there are no two Reflection jackets that are exactly
alike.
Representing Finnish design, The Rapala Eco Wear collection has received other
international awards as well. In the year they were introduced to the market,
the Eco Wear Waders were given the Best New Product Award in the fishing
clothing category at the EFTTEX show.
