Making the best product is still our number one priority. As long as we'll exist, we will keep making gear that is better for our planet and community.

The materials we use are a significant driver of our impact on the planet. It's up to us to choose materials that reduce waste, limit water consumption, and use safer chemistry during production. We're using preferred materials like organic cotton, recycled polyester, and bluesign® approved materials to reduce resource consumption and carbon emissions.

PRODUCT CIRCULARITY

To keep our carbon footprint small and limit waste, we're embracing circular principles that reduce resource consumption and extend product lifecycles. It's our mission to keep our products in the mountains and out of landfills. The most sustainable products are the ones that last, and we back all of our softgoods with a LIFETIME WARRANTY.
