TANKREC FIFTIES Women's Tank Top

We recognize the TANKREC tank top by:

- Its lightness and discreet presence on the shoulders.

- Its embroidery on the front (lagoped logo) and behind (one with nature)

- Its innovative composition, more virtuous than classic cotton - even organic. Lagoped has designed a recycled cotton and recycled polyester blend for a pleasant product with a controlled impact.

Did you know? The ptarmigan - our totem animal - changes its plumage according to the seasons. It turns white in winter to escape predators and increases the plumage of its feathers to avoid cold snaps.

The TANKREC tank top is inspired by this: its blend of fibers keeps you dry for longer than pure cotton.

To enjoy your favorite activity whatever the weather, here are the basics: layers.

The first layer, called internal, must be breathable, to guide perspiration to the outside of the garment. It is to this last category that the TANKREC tank top belongs.

The middle layer is insulating, it helps keep the heat in.

The outer layer protects against bad weather: waterproof, breathable, windproof.

By building your outfit around this system, you gain comfort and versatility. During exercise, you can remove the mid-layer and then put it back on when you stop. In short, multi-layering is the basis.

We often like to say that we make our mountain clothing with you. Since the creation of Lagoped, we have constantly exchanged with professionals and enthusiasts to improve each piece. To equip yourself as well as possible, always with sustainability in mind. This is how our clothes are made:

The Yarn is made in Spain from recycled cotton and recycled polyester.

The jersey and ribbed edges are knitted in France (Picardie) before final assembly in Portugal.

To respect the environment and your health, Lagoped does not compromise on anything.

Here, the tank top yarn is more virtuous than conventional or organic cotton. Recycled cotton involves no fertilizer, no water consumption, no agricultural labor and less carbon consumption. The soils are either at rest or reserved for food agriculture. It's better that way, isn't it?

Concretely, 1 kg of recycled cotton makes it possible to make 6 t-shirts which will avoid:

- the cultivation of 10m² of arable land,

- the use of 15,000 liters of water (i.e. four months of 5-minute daily showers)

- the emission of 23kg of greenhouse gas emissions (around 200 km with a small petrol car)

- Jersey 155g/m²

- Yarn made in Spain from recycled cotton (45% r-COT) and recycled polyester (55% r-PET) (pre and post consumer).

- No dyeing and sorting of fibers by color.
