Men's Sports Apparel
When it comes to sports apparel, performance is key, but these days you don't have to sacrifice your green lifestyle to gets items that function perfectly for your sport of choice. Most of the time, eco-friendly men's sports apparel includes the use of recycled materials, usually polyester, which breaks down easily for reuse. Look for men's Patagonia jackets made from other recycled Patagonia products, lightweight recycled jackets from Nike, and even recycled polyester socks from Fox River. Other materials to keep an eye out for in eco-friendly men's sports apparel are bamboo (perfect for base layers thanks to natural anti-bacterial properties), hemp, and organic cotton and wool. Buying eco-friendly men's sports apparel doesn't have to mean seeking out obscure brands, either, you'll find all the big names in active wear, from the men's Patagonia line to Columbia, North Face and Nike.
Patagonia Men's Nano Puff Pullover
by Patagonia
Already a cult classic with Patagonia ambassadors and testers, the new Nano Puff Pullover for Men got top marks for versatility, surprising warmth and terrific all-around performance in a superlight no-frills package. It's weather-resistant enough to wear as an insulated shell in a wet snowstorm, trim enough to pull on for chilly rock pitches (and still see your footholds), and warm enough for light belay parka duty on quick alpine dashes. The wind-blocking, moisture-shedding DWR (durable water repellent) finished 100% all-recycled polyester shell (1-oz 15-denier) also glides effortlessly, whether worn as a mid- or outer-layer. Low-bulk, hydrophobic, highly compressible PrimaLoft One (60 g) traps heat with remarkable efficiency, even when wet. The deep front zipper allows for easy ventilation. The Nano also packs down to practically nothing and stuffs into a single chest pocket that has a carabiner clip-in loop. The Men's Nano Puff Pullover is wind- and water-resistant, very warm for its weight, highly compressible and can be worn as insulation or outerwear in cold climates.

Patagonia Das Parka
by Patagonia
Cold, wet and scared is no way to go through life; unless you're an alpinist, and then at least you have the Patagonia DAS Parka. Patagonia's bombproof belay parka just got better, with superior PrimaLoft One (170 g in the body; 133 g in the hood and sleeves), a hydrophobic, more thermally efficient insulation that stays truly warm even when wet, is more compressible, and takes up significantly less pack space but is just as warm. The light-yet-tough quad-ripstop shell (1.7-oz 30-denier 100% all-recycled polyester) with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish sheds snow and blocks wind. An adjustable hood fits over helmets, and the high front insulates your face. Finer points: insulated handwarmer pockets, a chest pocket, inside mesh pockets for drying gloves and a 2-way front zip that lets you see your belay device. Stuff sack included.

Recycling is the reprocessing of old materials into new products, with the aims of preventing the waste of potentially useful materials, reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials, reducing energy usage, reducing air (from incineration) and water (from landfilling) pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.
Hemp is harvested for its fibers for hemp clothing and seeds for hemp oil. With a relatively short growth cycle of 100-120 days, it is an efficient and economical crop for farmers to grow, however, industrial hemp cannot be commercially grown in the United States because it is erroneously confounded with marijuana. In fact, industrial hemp and marijuana are different breeds of Cannabis sativa. Smoking large amounts of hemp flowers can produce a headache but not a high!
Post-consumer means any material that has been used by a consumer and then recycled for use in a new product. It is not the same as post-industrial waste, which is the reintroduction of manufacturing scraps into the manufacturing process.
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet and therefore highly sustainable. It is an incredibly versatile plant used for many everyday applications from flooring and wall paneling to paper and fabrics. Some of the processes through which Bamboo is turned from its raw form into usable products can have a negative environmental impact.
Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a reduced impact on the environment. Organic production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers, and build biologically diverse agriculture. Third-party certification organizations verify that organic producers use only methods and materials allowed in organic production.
Polylactic acid or polylactide (PLA) is a biodegradable, thermoplastic, aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch (in the U.S.) or sugarcanes (globally).
In order for wool to be certified as "organic," it must be produced in accordance with federal standards for organic livestock production. Federal requirements for organic livestock production include: Livestock feed and forage used from the last third of gestation must be certified organic; Use of synthetic hormones and genetic engineering is prohibited; Use of synthetic pesticides (internal, external, and on pastures) is prohibited, and Producers must encourage livestock health through good cultural and management practices.
Organic production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers.
