Better for the Planet:
Recycled polyester / recycled ocean bound plastic gives you the same technical performance you get in virgin polyester, with a vastly smaller footprint, more breathable fabric & a softer feel. What’s more, it can be recycled again and again, without significantly degrading in quality. It provides a valuable use for post-consumer and post-industrial plastic (which may otherwise end up floating endlessly in our oceans), and weakens our dependency on petroleum as the raw material for our apparel needs.

Better for You:
It takes roughly six (6) post-consumer plastic bottles to make a t-shirt. Those bottles are shredded into flakes, melted into pellets, spun into yarn, and then knitted into apparel. The result is a super soft t-shirt that you can wear proudly for many years to come.
