For Earth day, we’ve designed a limited supply line of gear recycled from our featured landfill. Buying recycled or used gear keeps excess product out of wastelands and preserves the nature you’re buying if for.

As the glaciers melt, water only continues to rise. So we designed a special thermal suit created to withstand a trip on the glaciers. If there are any left.

It’s not all gooey smells and disasters... yet.

You can still ward off the landfills from inching closer and closer to your backyard.

What You Can Do

Purchase Used Gear

Recycle

1

Sell your threads

Trashed clothes are the number one contributor to landfills.

So instead of saying “bye-bye”

to a beloved jacket, sell it

to our used gear program to fund another human’s warmth.

2

RECHARGE 

With rechargeable batteries.

Recharging is cost effective and keeps disposable batteries out

of landfills, preventing battery acid from mixing with rainwater and poisoning the ground beneath it.

3

visit nature

To keep National Parks alive

and well, keep attendance high

to discourage government

zoning and deforestation efforts. Public interest in nature increases its value in the eyes

of the law.
