Longtime environmental heavyweight Patagonia designs surf and swim gear, including wetsuits utilizing rain-forest-friendly Yulex natural rubber material and UPF 50+ rash guards made with 83 percent recycled polyester.
Recycled thread, including cashmere, nylon, and cotton, and sustainable fibers, such as Tencel, make up all of Reformation’s sleek pieces. The company’s offset programs also have big impacts: In one quarter, they protected 1,000 acres of Amazon rain forest and contributed 27 million gallons of water to parched regions of California.
