ISPO Munich changes its date
Together with leading sports and outdoor brands, retailers and trade associations, Messe München has taken two groundbreaking decisions: With immediate effect, ISPO Munich will definitely be held at the beginning of the winter season at the end of November, thus abandoning the previous date of January. For 2022, this means new dates for ISPO Munich.
Consumer Festival (B2C2B): Nov. 2022, 25 – 27 (Friday – Sunday)
B2B Tradeshow: Nov. 2022, 28 – 30 (Monday – Wednesday)

ISPO outdoor trends
Sustainability is no longer exclusive, it runs throughout all elements of the industry, and if it hasn’t been addressed in your business, you won’t be trading for much longer. With the 2025 Paris Agreement looming and the 2030 promise to achieve a climate neutral world in the mid century, time is of the essence.
The race is on to continue on our path, as we increase conserving resources and look to neutralising carbon footprints, and reducing the water footprint. Traceability, transparency and accountability are embedded permanently, essential in meeting the targets that have been set and appeasing consumers.
Circularity continues to to tackle climate change, protect biodiversity, reduce waste and most importantly reduce pollution. The ‘take, make, dispose’ production model is becoming a distant dinosaur. Instead a regenerative approach is essential for a cleaner future. What is clear with all the cleaner initiatives throughout the supply chain, ‘greenwashing’ will no be tolerated.
In turn, digitalisation shifts from being a disruptive force to being a much more immersive influence as virtual reality versus reality team up. This is applicable to all sectors of the market, from retail, to brands, to consumers and through technology and the increased awareness of digital platforms, influencing all stages of the sports and outdoors industry.

RAB- Arc Eco Jacket
The Arc Eco is our first jacket to utilise 3-layer Pertex® Shield Revolve. This waterproof and breathable fabric is constructed from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester. This means the jacket’s face fabric, membrane and backer are made up of a single polymer which makes it much easier to recycle at the end of its life. This revolutionary construction reduces the impact of production and improves the chances of closing the loop on polyester’s life cycle.

Our commitment to eliminate the use of virgin polyester in our products by 2024 helps us get one step closer to being a more circular company,”
