We value transparency and accountability and always seek to improve working conditions and incorporate feedback from our team members. 

Eco-Friendly Fabrics For A Sustainable Future

We have taken great strides towards sustainability by incorporating eco-friendly and upcycled fabrics into all of our product's main component fabrics. To make this vision a reality, we worked closely with Challenge Sailcloth and Dimension Polyent to source recycled materials.

Recycled EcoPak™ Fabric

Challenge Sailcloth's EcoPak™ is a durable, waterproof, eco-friendly fabric made from recycled polyester. It's free from toxic solvents, VOCs, PFAS, and forever chemicals and is designed to withstand abrasion and moisture while remaining lightweight and flexible.

Recycled Sailcloth with X-Ply®

 Our sailcloth products are made from remnants of Dimension Polyant's X-Ply® composite sailcloth- a waterproof mylar laminate reinforced with polyester and aramid fibers initially developed for the world's elite sailboat racers. It's strong, resilient, and has a distinctive look.

Reclaimed Sterling Rope®

Our leashes and handles are crafted from the reclaimed rope that doesn't meet first-quality standards, giving a second life to these materials. For over 20 years, climbers and mountaineers have trusted Sterling® rope, which is made in the USA and inspected by hand.
