eVent Fabrics, which offers waterproof and breathable fabric technology, announced that it is officially supplying its planet-positive eVent BIO footwear waterproof/breathable laminate to Topo Athletic. Topo focuses on sustainably-minded footwear for walking, running and hiking.
The footwear technology is currently used in Topo’s Terraventure 4 WP trail shoe and Trailventure 2 WP hiking boot. Both offer comfort, performance and an eco-friendly waterproof/breathable membrane.
“We are delighted to be partnering with Topo Athletic, a brand that embraces outdoor activity and sustainably-minded products,” said Chad Kelly, eVent’s president. “Our BIO Footwear offering helps brands like Topo maintain high levels of performance while also lowering their environmental impact. We’re pleased to see this relationship grow.”
