TYF Partnership
Maier Sports have been a key supplier for TYF for a short three years. We were first drawn to them based on their commitment to cleaning up the water pollution that is associated with traditional textile manufacture. Sustainable decisions and socially responsible business practices are at the heart of their brand and their brightly coloured, durable outdoor trousers have been hugely popular with both our guide team and our passionate customers.

He quickly turned his father's textile company into a clothing manufacturer known throughout the industry for the trending sports of that time: skiing and tennis. Outdoor was added later.

Perfect Fit Promise

Mission Clean
According to the World Bank, 20% of water pollution globally is caused by textile processing. Much of this from chemicals such as PFCs. That is why Maier believe that functionality on its own is not enough. Sustainable production and social responsibility are no longer secondary considerations. Maier have commited to protecting nature as part of their business wide approach to sustainability. The Mission Clean is focused on the ambitious objective of eliminating polyfluorinated and perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) from the textile production process.
In 2014 they hit their first milestone and launched a PFC-free functional waterproof jacket that did not require the regular post purchase waterproofing treatment traditionally associated with prolonging the lifespan of coats. In 2018 all their stretch outdoor trousers became completely free further demonstrating the commitment that Maier take to developing and manufacturing environmentally sustainable products.
