Just had this thought with fluoro waxes which are arguably faster being banned for the sake of the environment.
What if this was done with ski clothing? What if goretex and all these poly based apparel and their forever chemical coatings were outright banned and we had to go back to natural fibres like wool gabardine, how would you imagine your skiing day/season would look like?

The first 100 years – 1861 to 1961 Contributed by Wendy Cross When the first skiers of Kiandra schussed Township Hill, none would have dreamed that in less than a century, a multi-million dollar international industry would have grown up in response to a demand for not only ski equipment but...perisherhistory.org.au
Are there other natural fibres and coatings that are good-enough candidates to replace poly apparel and forever chemicals?
Not so sure about that with most jackets with a membrane being well north of $500An entire outfit of natural fibers would cost me many times what my current outfit cost me. It is really cost prohibitive.

Back in the late 70's and early 80's Levi's brand came out with corduroy ski bibs, they were popular for a short while. If I remember correctly I owned a pair. They were not bad as long as you stayed on groomed slops and didn't fall a lot. Definitely not for powder days or beginning skiers.mid 1980s - CB Sports Corduroy Jacket and LLBean heavy duty logger wool pants

It is the burning of fossil fuel that they are trying to stop. I didn't think that textiles and other uses of oil were being targeted as unfriendly to the planet.Well, if we're buying EV's to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, remember that the synthetic fibers and membranes found in contemporary outdoor clothing is made from the same fossil fuels. I'm thinking finding ways to develop textile materials without fossil fuels would be a worthy goal, especially if the materials can be composted somehow, once they have passed their useful garment life (but not a moment sooner).
