There are also more responsible materials: organic cotton, recycled polyester, and optimized water-repellent treatments to limit environmental impact.

The design aims for longevity (reinforced seams, durable soles, repair possibilities) to reduce consumption and waste related to clothing. Check out our selection of snowboard equipment on AlpinStore.
