Sustainable gear for Earth Day 2026
Sustainable picks that reduce impact and inspire everyday outdoor adventures.
Astral Designs
Since Astral's founding in 2012, the brand's mission has been to design high-performance equipment, built to protect the maximum amount of soil + water. Their increased use of hemp is just one example of this. Long before synthetic performance gear existed, humans trusted hemp to hold sails against ocean winds and bind ropes under enormous strain. Astral brings that same quiet, durable reliability into its apparel and footwear. In addition to hemp, Astral also uses Kapok and Canvas, other sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based materials.
Astral is proud to be a bluesign® system partner - it’s the gold standard third-party certification that helps the brand constantly evaluate its supply chain and prevent harmful chemicals from entering Nature.
HempTech Apparel
Astral's Performance HempTech line includes hoodies, tees, shorts, and pants, designed for trails, water, travel, and everyday use. Hemp is naturally breathable, cooling, and odor-resistant, meaning fewer washes, less packing, and more freedom. It carries a 30 UPF sun rating, handles whatever conditions you put it through, and — unlike most performance fabrics — gets softer the more you wear it. Additionally, compared to cotton, hemp uses half the water and produces more than double the yield, with zero herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers. Sun. Soil. Water. That's it. It's one of the simplest, most regenerative crops on the planet, and wearing it means your gear isn't quietly costing the earth something it can't get back.
Loyak EZ HT Shoes
This spring, Astral is launching the Loyak EZ HT, an organic-fiber extension of their #1 best-selling Loyak family. The Loyak is a versatile barefoot-style amphibious shoe that provides world-class grip, durability, and high performance on land and water. They feature a zero drop, Level Footbed, and a wider toe box that respects your foot's natural barefoot position while increasing balance and stability. This easy, slip-on silhouette features natural-fiber construction made of HempTech™ uppers and a soft HempTech™ liner providing breathable, long-lasting, odor-resistant, and thermoregulating comfort. The Loyak EZ HT™ also features high-performance technology, including Balanced Geometry™ and ultra-sticky G Rubber® outsoles, delivering comfort, stability, and confident grip.
Launching in three colors (Salty White, Silver Pine, Light Black), the Loyak EZ HT™ will be available for all genders for $100 USD.
Therm-a-Rest
In 1971, a mix of unemployed Boeing engineers, a leaky foam gardening pad, and the dream of better nights under the stars came together to change how we experience the outdoors forever. By 1972, Cascade Designs was formed and began selling the Therm-a-Rest Standard 3/4 – the world’s first self-inflating sleeping pad. The rest, as they say, is history.
Compressible Pillow
The Compressible Pillow delivers soft and customizable support in a packable design for better rest on the go. It is stuffed with excess foam from sleeping pad production for proven eco-friendly comfort and features a super-soft polyester cover that is 60% recycled to keep your head comfy and its eco-impact small. The pillow is compressible in that it packs down into itself, so you can rest better on the go, and the cinch cord allows you to tailor the firmness and support to your ideal comfort level.

This pursuit of best-in-class performance and quality has led us to where we are today and is woven into our DNA.

Through clever and responsible innovation, taking substantive steps to measure and reduce our footprint, and providing gateway opportunities to expose more people to the benefits of the outdoors, we end up in a better place – as individuals, as a brand, and as a planet.
