Nominated for the ISPO Award 2023: The Tanboer Flash Take-off Fashion Down Jacket

Down jacket that combines safety and sustainability

The Flash Take-off Fashion Down Jacket is an extraordinary jacket with an innovative zip function. The jacket was developed by Tanboer and combines safety and sustainability in one. The special feature of the down jacket is a zip that opens simply by pulling it apart - allowing the jacket to be taken off particularly quickly.

Function that can save lives

When life is in danger and things have to move quickly, every second counts. It's good to have a jacket that can be opened and taken off quickly in this situation. The special zip functionality of the Flash Take-off Fashion down jacket from Tanboer allows you to do just that: in case of an accident or emergency, the wearer is no longer trapped in the clothing and emergency doctors can provide rapid treatment and have easy access to possible injuries.

The innovative zip was developed by Tanboer together with the zip manufacturer YKK.

Recycled materials for greater environmental awareness

The Flash Take-Off Fashion down jacket demonstrates Tanboer's commitment to sustainability. For example, materials were used that are certified according to the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and the Global Recycled Standard 4.0. All processed fabrics, down, zips and sewing threads are also made from recycled materials. A new bio-based membrane has also been used, which is not petroleum-based and therefore reduces dependence on fossil fuels.

The Tanboer Flash Take-off Fashion Down Jacket has been developed for men and women and offers comfortable warmth as well as wind and rain protection. The jacket is breathable and suitable for a wide range of everyday and outdoor activities. The jacket combines a number of positive properties: it is abrasion-resistant, the fibres are biodegradable, bi-stretch, moisture-regulating and waterproof and windproof.

This convinced the jury:

  • Innovative zip that can be opened very quickly
  • Symbiosis of fashion and safety aspects
  • Wide range of possible uses
  • Use of recycled and biodegradable materials

The jury said:

"This jacket thinks ahead! Not only is it comfortable to wear in cold and changeable weather conditions, but it also gives the wearer peace of mind knowing that they can take the jacket off as quickly as possible in an emergency".
