KEYWORD
SEATTLE
Manastash took its first breath in the vast wilderness of Seattle, one of the largest cities in the northwest America, in the summer of 1993. The coniferous forest that exists from the beginning of time, trout that runs through the river, the road which does not exist on the map... Outdoor activities are part of life for the people in Seattle and they have a high conscious to learn and coexist with the nature. It may not be the coincidence that Manastash was born in Seattle.
HEMP
Hemp is known for its characteristics to absorb moisture and to release heat, as well as for its natural infection-fighting properties. Pores of the fabrics are highly-oxygenated and this avoids the bacteria to inhabit in it, which explains why hemp is significantly antibacterial. It also has the UV resistant quality and protects the wearer from the sun. While the ratio of UV resistance is 30 to 90% for standard cotton, it is more than 99% for hemp and proves that it has a profound effect on UV. Its characteristics of a comfortable feel, high ability to absorb moisture and perspiration while being exceptionally durable and strong, make this fabric perfect for outdoor sports such as ski, trek, and mountain bike, as well as for outdoor events and camping in summer. The value of Manastash lies in offering the top quality of Hemp.
