Composition

100% recycled nylonLining fabric is certified as bluesign

Average quality, high synthetic content

Decent for everyday wear, but the synthetic content means microplastic shedding and it won't biodegrade. Consider natural alternatives for your next purchase.

⚠️

Synthetic fabrics can contain BPA, which mimics estrogen. Studies have found BPA transferring to skin through sweat contact.

🌍

This fabric will take 200+ years to decompose. That means a shirt you buy today will still exist in the year 2226.

♻️

Recycled synthetic reduces virgin plastic use, but still sheds microfibers. Better than new plastic, but natural is best.
