<\/h2>\r\nWhy choose an eco-friendly brand?<\/h2>\r\nFirst and foremost, to be eco-friendly, a company must apply principles and implement processes that allow it to respect and preserve the environment, the planet and humans over the long term.\r\n\r\nIf you want to shop responsibly, the best thing to do is not to buy anything, since consuming requires the production of goods and the use of resources and materials that have an impact on the environment. On the other hand, consuming better will allow you to enjoy your outdoor activities while minimizing the impact.\r\n\r\nOpting for eco-friendly brands allows you to:\r\n\r\n \t- Reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions<\/li>\r\n \t
- Limit the use of harmful chemicals and non-recycled materials in the manufacturing process<\/li>\r\n \t
- Respect and provide better working conditions for the people who make clothing, shoes, and other items<\/li>\r\n \t
- Give back to the planet by taking concrete action such as planting and cleaning the oceans<\/li>\r\n \t
- Stop animal cruelty<\/li>\r\n \t
- Limit the need for energy, water, and non-renewable resources<\/li>\r\n \t
- If these reasons have convinced you, all you have to do is make a green shift toward eco-friendly brands.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
<\/h2>\r\nWhat are the different certifications?<\/h2>\r\nThere are a variety of eco-friendly and environmentally friendly certifications for which outdoor brands can opt.\r\nBluesign\u00ae<\/h3>\r\nBluesign\u00ae is an independent authority<\/a> that certifies that each stage of textile production is done responsibly, with the lowest possible impact on people and the planet.\r\n\r\nIf an item has the bluesign\u00ae logo, it means that the company has been approved by the organization and upholds the standards required by Bluesign: the item is made of at least 90% textile fibers and 30% accessories (zipper, laces, etc.) and is approved by Bluesign.\r\nResponsible Down Standard (RDS)<\/h3>\r\nEstablished by Textile Exchange, this certification<\/a> protects animal welfare and ensures that down and feathers from ducks and geese used in coats, sleeping bags and other down products are harvested from animals that are not subject to animal cruelty (such as live plucking or force feeding).\r\nResponsible Wool Standard (RWS)<\/h3>\r\nAlso implemented by the Textile Exchange, the RWS standard can voluntarily endorsed by farmers, textile producers, and brands who wish to ensure the welfare of sheep, protect grazing lands and respect the five freedoms of animal welfare, which are:\r\n\r\n \t- Freedom from hunger, thirst and malnutrition<\/li>\r\n \t
- Freedom from fear and distress<\/li>\r\n \t
- Freedom from physical and thermal stress<\/li>\r\n \t
- Freedom from pain, injury and disease<\/li>\r\n \t
- The possibility for the animal to engage in normal behaviour for its species<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
B Corp certification<\/h3>\r\nTo achieve B Corp certification<\/a>, brands must meet high standards of performance, accountability and transparency verified in all areas of the business; from the supply chain to raw materials. To become certified, a company must:\r\n\r\n \t- Demonstrate high social and environmental performance (B-score of 80 or higher)<\/li>\r\n \t
- Change its governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders<\/li>\r\n \t
- Demonstrate transparency by agreeing to have its performance data made public and posted on the B Lab website<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
Fair Trade certification<\/h3>\r\nFair Trade is a global movement<\/a> that brings together producers, businesses, consumers, advocates and organizations with a common goal: to benefit people and the planet through fair trade.\r\n\r\nItems bearing the Fair Trade mark meet rigorous social, environmental and economic standards and ensure that workers have good working conditions, that the environment is protected, that livelihoods are adequate and sustainable, and that funds are allocated for community development.\r\n<\/h2>\r\nFair Trade Brand<\/h2>\r\n1. Vaude<\/h3>\r\n![\"Vaude\"](\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/vaude-eco-friendly-brand.jpg\")
<\/a>\r\n\r\nIn addition to becoming climate neutral in 2022, Vaude<\/a> makes bags and other items stamped with the Green Shape logo, meaning they are made from natural, environmentally friendly, bluesign-approved and\/or recycled materials, such as lyocell (a biodegradable cellulosic fiber) and organic cotton. Some bags are even plastic-free.\r\n\r\nThe German brand also works with the Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) to maintain high social performance and ensure good working conditions and fair wages for employees at their production facility in Asia and their suppliers and subcontractors worldwide. All of which has a positive impact on the earth and its inhabitants.\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/vaude\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Vaude[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n

<\/a>\r\n\r\nFew companies still make clothing in Canada. In addition to supporting local commerce by purchasing coats made in Montreal and Victoriaville, Quebec, you are helping to reduce transportation-related GHG emissions and participating in the circular economy, as each piece is designed with a high level of quality and the ability to be repaired or recycled.\r\n\r\nQuartz Co.<\/a> also relies on Pertex\u00ae and recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic bottles, both Global Recycle Standard, bluesign\u00ae and OEKO-TEX certified; Repreve\u00ae fiber from recycled materials, recycled nylon, and traceable Canadian white duck down in the design and production of winter coats, parkas, and lightweight jackets.\r\n\r\nAs an added bonus, all Quartz Co. coats come with a lifetime guarantee. A brilliant choice!\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/quartz-co\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Quartz Co.[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
3. Indyeva<\/h3>\r\n![\"Indyeva\"](\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/indyeva-eco-friendly-brand.jpg\")
<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis company, based in Montreal, Quebec, formerly known as Indygena, designs clothing for active women. The company\u2019s mission? To take an approach far-removed from fast-fashion and provide quality, functional, versatile coats and outerwear made from the most eco-friendly, recycled, and sustainable fibers possible - some are even bluesign\u00ae approved.\r\n\r\nAs well, Indyeva<\/a> aims to use 100% recycled synthetic fibers and organic, natural fibers by 2025. Definitely worth checking out!\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/indyeva\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Indyeva[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n

<\/a>\r\n\r\nThe name Tentree<\/a> gives a good clue about the cause behind this Canadian brand. Inspired by the responsible fashion trend, the co-founders, who also have a background in tree planting, launched the brand in 2012 with the goal of planting 10 trees for every piece sold. Since then, over 73\u00a0334\u00a0342 trees have helped repopulate forests in Senegal, Kenya, India, Brazil, and more.\r\n\r\nTentree stands out not only for its casual fleeces and sleek men's and women's basics, but also for its ethical consciousness (the company makes sure to partner with manufacturers that offer decent working conditions), its use of recycled materials and responsible wool, and its B Corp certification obtained in 2016. A local jewel to keep an eye on!\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/tentree\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Tentree[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n

<\/a>\r\n\r\nSince starting the One More Tree program, where a tree is planted for every pair of boots or shoes sold, Oboz<\/a> has planted over four million trees around the world.\r\n\r\nThe American company also carefully chooses the materials that make up its boots and hiking shoes, such as foam soles made from Bloom algae and leather from environmentally friendly materials. The best part? 100% of the energy that powers their offices comes from wind, solar and natural sources.\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/oboz\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Oboz[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n

<\/a>\r\n\r\nVeganism, a diet that excludes animal ingredients, is not reserved only for food. Want proof? Save the Duck<\/a> received the 2019 Business of the Year award from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), a nonprofit organization that works to defend animal rights.\r\n\r\nThat's because the young company, founded in 2012, makes quilted coats and jackets for men and women where animal down is outright exempt and replaced with Plumtech\u00ae a fiber that mimics the softness of real down while providing thermal protection. It's no wonder Save the Duck has earned B Corp certification for its efforts to conserve natural resources, use recycled materials from qualified sources and ensure animal welfare.\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/save-the-duck\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Save the Duck[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
7. Cotopaxi<\/h3>\r\n![\"Cotopaxi\"](\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cotopaxi-eco-friendly-brand.jpg\")
<\/a>\r\n\r\nThe Cotopaxi<\/a> brand stands out for its colourful bags and clothing made from recycled textiles, but also for its commitment to doing good around them. Having achieved B Corp certification in 2015 and holding a score of 93.6, Cotopaxi stands out for its adherence to Pledge 1% where at least 1\u00a0% of revenues are donated to organizations that help fight poverty.\r\n\r\nOther interesting facts that set Cotopaxi apart from the competition: it uses RDS certified duck and goose down, it is certified climate neutral, it wants to increase the reused, recycled or responsible materials present in 94% of its products to 100% of its collection.\r\n\r\nBe sure to check out Del Dia bags<\/a> and Teca jackets<\/a> and sweaters made from a mix of high-quality, unused fabrics, each one different from the next. A unique addition to your outdoor wardrobe!\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/cotopaxi\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Cotopaxi[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n

<\/a>\r\n\r\nMountain Hardwear<\/a>'s focus? To reduce water use and its carbon footprint by taking concrete action for the environment.\r\n\r\nHow do they do it? By using bluesign-approved materials and RDS-certified down in the production of coats and sleeping bags, and by using the solution dyeing process, which requires 89% less water, 63% less chemicals and generates 60% less carbon dioxide emissions than traditional dyeing.\r\n\r\nThe brand also offers a lifetime warranty on all its products and favors repair over replacement. It's a simple philosophy to adopt, whether it's for clothing or other goods.\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/mountain-hardwear\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Mountain Hardwear[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
9. The North Face<\/h3>\r\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/the-north-face-eco-friendly-brand.jpg\")
<\/a>\r\n\r\nThe brand's slogan \"Never Stop Exploring\" also applies to their environmental commitments.\r\n\r\nBy choosing a down jacket or sleeping bag made by The North Face<\/a>, you can ensure that the natural fiber is RDS certified and produced in an animal-friendly manner. In fact, it was The North Face that launched this ethical standard, in 2014, in partnership with Textile Exchange, an international non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainability, and Control Union, an independent organization.\r\n\r\nThe North Face<\/a> isn't stopping there: the international corporation wants to eliminate single-use plastic packaging by 2025 and use 100 percent responsibly sourced fabrics in apparel by 2025.\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/the-north-face\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop The North Face[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
10. Outdoor Research<\/h3>\r\n![\"Outdoor](\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/04\/outdoor-research-eco-friendly-brand.jpg\")
<\/a>\r\n\r\nOutdoor Research<\/a> is proud to use RDS-certified goose and duck down since 2016 and to collaborate with bluesign\u00ae throughout its supply chain.\r\n\r\nThe company also encourages outdoor enthusiasts to advocate for gear made with recycled content to minimize their impact on the planet. Recycled content reduces waste, energy consumption and dependence on oil. So you won't be surprised to find recycled ripstop fabric and polyester in Outdoor Research's quality clothing.\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/outdoor-research\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Outdoor Research[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/h2>\r\nOther eco-friendly brands to check out<\/h2>\r\nEco-friendliness and sustainability are now part of the values of a host of other brands such as Icebreaker<\/a> and Smartwool<\/a> who both use wool produced without animal cruelty and that respect the five freedoms of animal welfare, as well as Keen<\/a> and Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven<\/a>, who have banned the use of perfluorinated chemicals to waterproof their products.\r\nPro tips<\/h2>\r\n\r\n \t- Opt for clothing, footwear, and gear in timeless, natural colours; you\u2019ll be less likely to replace these items if the colour is more versatile.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Find out about the care and repair services offered by the brand you are targeting. You'll be able to preserve your items longer if you wash them properly and can have them repaired rather than replaced.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Instead of turning to the often lower priced fast fashion, select quality items that are sturdy, designed with attention to detail, and guaranteed to last you longer. Also, take the time to think before you buy and compare models and brands. You can save yourself from a spur-of-the-moment purchase and help reduce over-consumption and waste.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>"}],"author_type":"wordpress","partnership_options":{"partnership_label":"","partner_logo":null,"partner_link":"","partnership_text":""},"override_related_posts":false,"related_posts":null,"right_cta_visibility":false,"sidebar_cta_content_override":false,"sidebar_cta_title":"","sidebar_cta_description":"","sidebar_cta_button":null},"yoast_head":"\n

- \r\n \t
- Reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions<\/li>\r\n \t
- Limit the use of harmful chemicals and non-recycled materials in the manufacturing process<\/li>\r\n \t
- Respect and provide better working conditions for the people who make clothing, shoes, and other items<\/li>\r\n \t
- Give back to the planet by taking concrete action such as planting and cleaning the oceans<\/li>\r\n \t
- Stop animal cruelty<\/li>\r\n \t
- Limit the need for energy, water, and non-renewable resources<\/li>\r\n \t
- If these reasons have convinced you, all you have to do is make a green shift toward eco-friendly brands.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
<\/h2>\r\n
What are the different certifications?<\/h2>\r\nThere are a variety of eco-friendly and environmentally friendly certifications for which outdoor brands can opt.\r\n
Bluesign\u00ae<\/h3>\r\nBluesign\u00ae is an independent authority<\/a> that certifies that each stage of textile production is done responsibly, with the lowest possible impact on people and the planet.\r\n\r\nIf an item has the bluesign\u00ae logo, it means that the company has been approved by the organization and upholds the standards required by Bluesign: the item is made of at least 90% textile fibers and 30% accessories (zipper, laces, etc.) and is approved by Bluesign.\r\n
Responsible Down Standard (RDS)<\/h3>\r\nEstablished by Textile Exchange, this certification<\/a> protects animal welfare and ensures that down and feathers from ducks and geese used in coats, sleeping bags and other down products are harvested from animals that are not subject to animal cruelty (such as live plucking or force feeding).\r\n
Responsible Wool Standard (RWS)<\/h3>\r\nAlso implemented by the Textile Exchange, the RWS standard can voluntarily endorsed by farmers, textile producers, and brands who wish to ensure the welfare of sheep, protect grazing lands and respect the five freedoms of animal welfare, which are:\r\n
- \r\n \t
- Freedom from hunger, thirst and malnutrition<\/li>\r\n \t
- Freedom from fear and distress<\/li>\r\n \t
- Freedom from physical and thermal stress<\/li>\r\n \t
- Freedom from pain, injury and disease<\/li>\r\n \t
- The possibility for the animal to engage in normal behaviour for its species<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
B Corp certification<\/h3>\r\nTo achieve B Corp certification<\/a>, brands must meet high standards of performance, accountability and transparency verified in all areas of the business; from the supply chain to raw materials. To become certified, a company must:\r\n
- \r\n \t
- Demonstrate high social and environmental performance (B-score of 80 or higher)<\/li>\r\n \t
- Change its governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders<\/li>\r\n \t
- Demonstrate transparency by agreeing to have its performance data made public and posted on the B Lab website<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
Fair Trade certification<\/h3>\r\nFair Trade is a global movement<\/a> that brings together producers, businesses, consumers, advocates and organizations with a common goal: to benefit people and the planet through fair trade.\r\n\r\nItems bearing the Fair Trade mark meet rigorous social, environmental and economic standards and ensure that workers have good working conditions, that the environment is protected, that livelihoods are adequate and sustainable, and that funds are allocated for community development.\r\n
<\/h2>\r\n
Fair Trade Brand<\/h2>\r\n
1. Vaude<\/h3>\r\n
<\/a>\r\n\r\nIn addition to becoming climate neutral in 2022, Vaude<\/a> makes bags and other items stamped with the Green Shape logo, meaning they are made from natural, environmentally friendly, bluesign-approved and\/or recycled materials, such as lyocell (a biodegradable cellulosic fiber) and organic cotton. Some bags are even plastic-free.\r\n\r\nThe German brand also works with the Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) to maintain high social performance and ensure good working conditions and fair wages for employees at their production facility in Asia and their suppliers and subcontractors worldwide. All of which has a positive impact on the earth and its inhabitants.\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/vaude\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Vaude[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/h2>\r\n
Local eco-friendly brands<\/h2>\r\n
2. Quartz Co.<\/h3>\r\n
<\/a>\r\n\r\nFew companies still make clothing in Canada. In addition to supporting local commerce by purchasing coats made in Montreal and Victoriaville, Quebec, you are helping to reduce transportation-related GHG emissions and participating in the circular economy, as each piece is designed with a high level of quality and the ability to be repaired or recycled.\r\n\r\nQuartz Co.<\/a> also relies on Pertex\u00ae and recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic bottles, both Global Recycle Standard, bluesign\u00ae and OEKO-TEX certified; Repreve\u00ae fiber from recycled materials, recycled nylon, and traceable Canadian white duck down in the design and production of winter coats, parkas, and lightweight jackets.\r\n\r\nAs an added bonus, all Quartz Co. coats come with a lifetime guarantee. A brilliant choice!\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/quartz-co\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Quartz Co.[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
3. Indyeva<\/h3>\r\n
<\/a>\r\n\r\nThis company, based in Montreal, Quebec, formerly known as Indygena, designs clothing for active women. The company\u2019s mission? To take an approach far-removed from fast-fashion and provide quality, functional, versatile coats and outerwear made from the most eco-friendly, recycled, and sustainable fibers possible - some are even bluesign\u00ae approved.\r\n\r\nAs well, Indyeva<\/a> aims to use 100% recycled synthetic fibers and organic, natural fibers by 2025. Definitely worth checking out!\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/indyeva\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Indyeva[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/h2>\r\n
Brands that plant trees<\/h2>\r\n
4. Tentree<\/h3>\r\n
<\/a>\r\n\r\nThe name Tentree<\/a> gives a good clue about the cause behind this Canadian brand. Inspired by the responsible fashion trend, the co-founders, who also have a background in tree planting, launched the brand in 2012 with the goal of planting 10 trees for every piece sold. Since then, over 73\u00a0334\u00a0342 trees have helped repopulate forests in Senegal, Kenya, India, Brazil, and more.\r\n\r\nTentree stands out not only for its casual fleeces and sleek men's and women's basics, but also for its ethical consciousness (the company makes sure to partner with manufacturers that offer decent working conditions), its use of recycled materials and responsible wool, and its B Corp certification obtained in 2016. A local jewel to keep an eye on!\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/tentree\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Tentree[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
5. Oboz<\/h3>\r\n
<\/a>\r\n\r\nSince starting the One More Tree program, where a tree is planted for every pair of boots or shoes sold, Oboz<\/a> has planted over four million trees around the world.\r\n\r\nThe American company also carefully chooses the materials that make up its boots and hiking shoes, such as foam soles made from Bloom algae and leather from environmentally friendly materials. The best part? 100% of the energy that powers their offices comes from wind, solar and natural sources.\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/oboz\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Oboz[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/h2>\r\n
B Corp certified brands<\/h2>\r\n
6. Save the Duck<\/h3>\r\n
<\/a>\r\n\r\nVeganism, a diet that excludes animal ingredients, is not reserved only for food. Want proof? Save the Duck<\/a> received the 2019 Business of the Year award from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), a nonprofit organization that works to defend animal rights.\r\n\r\nThat's because the young company, founded in 2012, makes quilted coats and jackets for men and women where animal down is outright exempt and replaced with Plumtech\u00ae a fiber that mimics the softness of real down while providing thermal protection. It's no wonder Save the Duck has earned B Corp certification for its efforts to conserve natural resources, use recycled materials from qualified sources and ensure animal welfare.\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/save-the-duck\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Save the Duck[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
7. Cotopaxi<\/h3>\r\n
<\/a>\r\n\r\nThe Cotopaxi<\/a> brand stands out for its colourful bags and clothing made from recycled textiles, but also for its commitment to doing good around them. Having achieved B Corp certification in 2015 and holding a score of 93.6, Cotopaxi stands out for its adherence to Pledge 1% where at least 1\u00a0% of revenues are donated to organizations that help fight poverty.\r\n\r\nOther interesting facts that set Cotopaxi apart from the competition: it uses RDS certified duck and goose down, it is certified climate neutral, it wants to increase the reused, recycled or responsible materials present in 94% of its products to 100% of its collection.\r\n\r\nBe sure to check out Del Dia bags<\/a> and Teca jackets<\/a> and sweaters made from a mix of high-quality, unused fabrics, each one different from the next. A unique addition to your outdoor wardrobe!\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/cotopaxi\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Cotopaxi[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/h2>\r\n
Eco-friendly brands that use RDS certified down<\/h2>\r\n
8. Mountain Hardwear<\/h3>\r\n
<\/a>\r\n\r\nMountain Hardwear<\/a>'s focus? To reduce water use and its carbon footprint by taking concrete action for the environment.\r\n\r\nHow do they do it? By using bluesign-approved materials and RDS-certified down in the production of coats and sleeping bags, and by using the solution dyeing process, which requires 89% less water, 63% less chemicals and generates 60% less carbon dioxide emissions than traditional dyeing.\r\n\r\nThe brand also offers a lifetime warranty on all its products and favors repair over replacement. It's a simple philosophy to adopt, whether it's for clothing or other goods.\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/mountain-hardwear\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Mountain Hardwear[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
9. The North Face<\/h3>\r\n
<\/a>\r\n\r\nThe brand's slogan \"Never Stop Exploring\" also applies to their environmental commitments.\r\n\r\nBy choosing a down jacket or sleeping bag made by The North Face<\/a>, you can ensure that the natural fiber is RDS certified and produced in an animal-friendly manner. In fact, it was The North Face that launched this ethical standard, in 2014, in partnership with Textile Exchange, an international non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainability, and Control Union, an independent organization.\r\n\r\nThe North Face<\/a> isn't stopping there: the international corporation wants to eliminate single-use plastic packaging by 2025 and use 100 percent responsibly sourced fabrics in apparel by 2025.\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/the-north-face\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop The North Face[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
10. Outdoor Research<\/h3>\r\n
<\/a>\r\n\r\nOutdoor Research<\/a> is proud to use RDS-certified goose and duck down since 2016 and to collaborate with bluesign\u00ae throughout its supply chain.\r\n\r\nThe company also encourages outdoor enthusiasts to advocate for gear made with recycled content to minimize their impact on the planet. Recycled content reduces waste, energy consumption and dependence on oil. So you won't be surprised to find recycled ripstop fabric and polyester in Outdoor Research's quality clothing.\r\n[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/outdoor-research\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\"before\"]Shop Outdoor Research[\/stag_button]<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/h2>\r\n
Other eco-friendly brands to check out<\/h2>\r\nEco-friendliness and sustainability are now part of the values of a host of other brands such as Icebreaker<\/a> and Smartwool<\/a> who both use wool produced without animal cruelty and that respect the five freedoms of animal welfare, as well as Keen<\/a> and Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven<\/a>, who have banned the use of perfluorinated chemicals to waterproof their products.\r\n
Pro tips<\/h2>\r\n
- \r\n \t
- Opt for clothing, footwear, and gear in timeless, natural colours; you\u2019ll be less likely to replace these items if the colour is more versatile.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Find out about the care and repair services offered by the brand you are targeting. You'll be able to preserve your items longer if you wash them properly and can have them repaired rather than replaced.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Instead of turning to the often lower priced fast fashion, select quality items that are sturdy, designed with attention to detail, and guaranteed to last you longer. Also, take the time to think before you buy and compare models and brands. You can save yourself from a spur-of-the-moment purchase and help reduce over-consumption and waste.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>"}],"author_type":"wordpress","partnership_options":{"partnership_label":"","partner_logo":null,"partner_link":"","partnership_text":""},"override_related_posts":false,"related_posts":null,"right_cta_visibility":false,"sidebar_cta_content_override":false,"sidebar_cta_title":"","sidebar_cta_description":"","sidebar_cta_button":null},"yoast_head":"\n
