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.
