Where We Started.
Where We're Headed.
2019
We kept 13 million waterbottles* from landfills by using partially recycled main body fabric in our 600D packs
2020
We introduced the Recycled SuperBreak® - each pack containing the
equivalent of 20 water bottles.*
Our Suprlus Collection was
first released, which rescued excess materials before they could hit the
factory floor and go to waste.
2021
We introduced our first Undyed collection consisting of the Undyed Recycled SuperBreak® and the Undyed Recycled Waistpack
2022
Over 80% of our styles are made with 100% recycled main body fabric.**
We helped the equivalent of 76 million plastic bottles* avoid landfill by
using 100% recycled 600D main body fabric for 70% of our styles** and
recycled materials for all of our 200D lining.
By switching our lining to 100% recycled polyester and leaving it undyed,
we reduced our water consumption by 1 million gallons.***
