As part of its continued commitment to reduce its impact, the brand offers a selection of designs made from materials
that strive to have a lower impact compared to our conventional options under the ‘Moncler Born to Protect’ label.
Every Moncler Born to Protect SS23 design has been subject to a Life Cycle Assessment analysis run
by a third party and compared to the correspondent conventional options.
