OAC uses a Mohair-Nylon mix hair in their Skinbased skis which is sourced from a supplier chain in Central Europe. Mohair is collected by plucking from South African goat farms, which are inspected by an independent quality assurance company called SAMIC. Mohair South Africa is also a member of the Textile Exchange which researches and shares best practices to reduce the environmental impact of the textile industry. The export of mohair to Europe is regulated by strict residue criteria set by ÖKO-TEX. OAC's artificial fiber Nylon is made from byproducts of the oil industry.
