Our waterproof products are produced with two different technologies:
- Hydrophilic Technology (Molecular)
- Hydrophobic Technology (Porous)
1) Hydrophilic Technology not only offers the market's thinnest and most breathable membrane, but also a technology based on 100% recyclable polyether / ester that does not pose any health risk at all.
It also means that it is environmentally friendly as it is 100% degradable. Therefore, the membrane has been awarded the Oeko-Tex standard 100® certificate.
The membrane has also been awarded the bluesign® certificate, which is another guarantee for the benefit of the environment and you.
On the inside and outside of the membrane, we use either Polyamide or Polyester - and only materials that have eco-tex certification. On the outer material we apply a C6 Eco® Bionic® treatment which is PFOA free.
It is not legal requirement in the EU to use non-toxic aftercare, but this is the case in Norway, for example. Geoff Anderson took the first steps in 2009 and today uses only PFC-free post-treatments.

Hydrofil / ECO technology can be found in our most expensive jackets and pants. Example: Tsuba, Xanado and Wakasazhi.
2) Hydrophobic Technology Is the most common technology. The technology is based on rejecting water in droplet form, but allowing water in the vapor form to pass (waterproof and breathable). Our version differs from most others in that we merge the liquid membrane with an outer material for example of recyclable polyester. The two remain in the merger process for one and the same material. This makes the product ultra durable / strong in relation to wear and many years of use.

For some of our products, this technology contains recyclable materials. This technology includes PU, which in itself is not harmful, but the process of producing PU can have environmental problems. We have minimized this problem by using only manufacturers who have transparent production and, of course, recognized environmental certifications.
On the outside, we apply a C6 Eco® Bionic® treatment that is free of PFOA. It is not legal requirement to use non-toxic finishing, but since 2009 we have used non-toxic post-treatments. You can find this type of technology, for example, in our WS4, Raptor jackets and Zoon pants.

Whatever Geoff Anderson product you buy will:
- the vast majority of fittings including zippers and buttons are Eco-tex certified and free of toxic and known allergenic substances
- fabric be eco-tex certified in the same certification as baby clothes (does not apply to all models)
- We strive to shop locally and use business partners from Denmark or Scandinavia. Even in our production, we have Danish workplaces, as we, among other things, use Danish-owned productions in the far east. In some cases we even produce within the EU, with Danish and Swedish fabric suppliers
-
we, to the best of our ability, ensure that partners
implement social responsibility. We do not deal with subcontractors and know our manufacturers in depth
