Wander Pile-Fleece Pant - Women's

A product that is bluesign® APPROVED means it has been made using materials that meet strict environmental and safety standards. This certification ensures that the manufacturing process is sustainable, eliminating harmful substances from the supply chain, which promotes safer textile production for both consumers and the environment.

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Certification indicates that the fabric has been rigorously tested for harmful substances and is safe for human health. This means you can trust that the materials used in the product do not contain any harmful chemicals, making it a safer choice for you and the environment.

Recycled polyester fleece is made from recycled plastic bottles or other polyester materials, which helps reduce waste and the demand for new raw materials. Choosing products made from recycled polyester not only supports sustainability but also contributes to a circular economy by giving new life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfills.

Ripstop fabric is designed with a special weaving technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. The grid pattern reinforces the fabric, enhancing its durability, which is essential for outdoor activities like hiking or camping where wear and tear are common. This means your gear will last longer and perform better in rugged conditions.

A gusseted crotch is an extra piece of fabric sewn into the crotch area of pants, allowing for greater freedom of movement and comfort during activities like hiking or climbing. However, it's important to note that some products may not feature a gusseted crotch, which could affect the fit and mobility. If you prioritize flexibility in your activities, consider this feature when making your choice.

Certifications like bluesign® and OEKO-TEX® ensure that products are made with environmentally friendly practices and safe materials. Additionally, using recycled polyester reduces waste and the need for new resources. Together, these factors contribute to a more sustainable product that minimizes environmental impact while providing you with high-quality, safe, and durable gear.
