The Reima Meriol fleece shows us how innovative fabrics can make kids’ ski gear more responsible:

Made with Seawool® fibres, they are a clever blend of recycled plastic bottles and upcycled oyster shells, typically discarded by the food industry – the resulting fleece is soft, warm, and helps reuse waste from other industries.

The composition is approximately 60% recycled Seawool®, 30% recycled polyester, and 10% elastane, balancing sustainability with flexibility.

Its brushed reverse lining boosts comfort and warmth without relying on heavy coatings, reducing the need for thick outer layers in milder winter weather.

Design Features That Support Sustainability

The Reima Meriol Fleece isn’t only eco-friendly in materials – its design helps children wear it longer and better, extending its life cycle:

Smooth outer surface: Layers easily under ski jackets without bulk, reducing friction and wear.

Stretch side panels: Support freedom of movement, so kids stay comfortable during active winter sports.

Thumb holes in cuffs: Keep sleeves in place and protect wrists against cold air and snow.

Half-zip front: Makes dressing simple and helps regulate temperature. Less overheating means less washing – which protects the fabric and the environment.

How the Meriol Fleece Fits Into Reima’s Sustainability Goals

• With around 90% recycled content, it easily surpasses Reima’s standard for “sustainable styles” (50% or more recycled or bluesign® approved materials).
• The focus on durability and comfort means it’s designed to be worn season after season – and even handed down to siblings or friends.
• As a mid-layer, it proves that not just outerwear but also everyday ski essentials can be made responsibly.
