What it's made of
Plain explanations of the fabrics and materials behind the gear — fleece blends, parachute nylon, roto-molding, softshell, and more.
A cotton-poly fleece blend pairs the soft, cozy feel of cotton with polyester's warmth, quick drying, and shape retention. It's why a good fleece hoody stays comfortable from a campfire evening through a wash-and-wear week.
Parachute nylon is a lightweight, tightly woven, breathable fabric that's strong for its weight — ideal for hammocks because it supports you comfortably, packs down tiny, and dries fast.
Roto-molding forms the cooler as one thick, seamless piece of plastic, which makes it extremely durable and lets it hold thick insulation. That construction, plus a gasketed lid, is why roto-molded coolers keep ice for days.
Softshell is a bonded, slightly stretchy fabric that blocks wind and light moisture while breathing well, so it's comfortable during active use. It's warmer and more weather-ready than fleece alone, but more breathable than a hard rain shell.
Several pieces use eco-conscious or recycled fabrics, and we note it on those products. We also favor goods built to last, since durability is one of the most meaningful forms of sustainability.
Waxed canvas is rugged, ages handsomely, and is water-repellent (and re-waxable over time), while coated or sealed nylon is lighter and more fully waterproof. Choose waxed canvas for everyday character, coated nylon for paddling and rain.
Each product page lists its materials and key specs. If you need more detail for an allergy, a use case, or a spec sheet, just ask and we'll get you the specifics.
