Explore the peaks with the Top Brands of sustainable trekking clothing
Today more than ever, trekking is not just a way to explore nature, but a real opportunity to make conscious and sustainable choices . With climate change and the ever-increasing attention to safeguarding the planet , many outdoor clothing companies have chosen to focus on sustainability, without sacrificing quality and performance.
In this blog we present you 5 of the top brands of trekking clothing that combine performance and respect for the environment… plus a Made in Italy reality that perhaps you don't know.
1. Patagonia When it comes to sustainable outdoor clothing, Patagonia is a must-have. Not only is their philosophy based on producing environmentally friendly clothing, using recycled and organic materials for most of their lines, but the company is also involved in awareness campaigns for nature conservation and donates a good portion of their profits to environmental causes, as evidenced by their "1% for the Planet" project.
2. The North Face Another outdoor clothing giant, also increasingly committed to sustainability: development of circular systems to recycle used garments, use of organic and responsibly sourced fabrics , elimination of single-use plastic packaging by 2025, are all elements that demonstrate and underline the brand's commitment and dedication to the environment.
3. Arc'teryx Arc'teryx is certainly a top brand in the world of trekking and outdoor, known in particular for its technical and resistant jackets. Its attention to the environment is reflected in the use of sustainable materials , as demonstrated by the introduction of the new GORE-TEX ePE membrane without PFAS (man-made chemicals) which, combined with the recycled nylon surface, guarantees protection, resistance and durability , but with a lower environmental impact.
4. Salomon In the outdoor and trekking sector, Salomon is undoubtedly one of the most respected brands in the world. Salomon does not limit itself to creating high-quality, resistant and long- lasting products, but is above all committed to introducing materials and technologies that can reduce environmental impact; in this sense, the creation of the Index.01 , a fully recyclable running shoe, best represents the brand's philosophy.
5. Vaude Vaude is one of the brands that pays most attention to ecology and sustainability in the outdoor clothing sector. Over the years, the German brand has introduced numerous certifications, such as the Green Shape Label , to guarantee that their products are sustainable throughout their entire life cycle, from production to disposal.
6. Zamberlan Zamberlan has been a point of reference in the outdoor world for more than 50 years. In addition to the search for quality in materials and long-lasting performance, the brand has always tried to act and work with particular attention to sustainability, respecting the environment and customers.
By purchasing sustainable and eco-friendly clothing, you are making a conscious and responsible choice, investing in the future of our planet.
In addition to garments made from recycled materials, an equally valid alternative, to try to reduce your environmental impact in your own small way, is to explore the world of second-hand.
Nowadays, more and more companies, such as Weply , are dedicated to the recovery and resale of second-hand equipment, offering carefully selected and guaranteed products. In this way, a second life is given to the items, avoiding the waste of precious resources and contributing to a more circular economy.
Next time you pack for a new hike, make the right choice for you and the planet.
