Tactics Cascadia Collection
The Cascadia collection is Tactics' commitment to providing durable clothing while minimizing our environmental impact. Rather than processing and chemically treating plastic bottles, we seek out surplus fabric and reuse it. We find beautiful fabrics sitting idle in warehouses in Asia and repurpose them into our next wave of multi-purpose garments. This season's garments feature materials from iconic fabric manufacturer Polartec®. Our goal is to provide timeless clothing that is durable, versatile, and built to last.
A durable water repellent (DWR) finish helps the fabric repel moisture, preventing saturation and helping to keep you warm. It also repels oil and stains and remains breathable—essential features for snowy and rainy conditions.
