Our responsibility is to continually chase lower-impact solutions for your cycling gear. That means, with every garment we make, we consider the most responsible way to make it: from fabric selection, to quantities ordered, to how it’s shipped to your door.
Here’s how we’re working on our impact:
-
We believe in making less stuff that lasts longer. That means, all of our products are ordered in smaller batch runs to reduce oversupply.
-
Our focus is on quality, long-lasting materials and construction methods that perform on the bike and stand the test of time. This is a big point of pride for us. We’ve had many customers telling us about the Samsara cycling shorts they are still riding in years later.
-
We primarily rely on sublimation printing for our fabrics, which is more energy-efficient and uses less water than other printing methods. However, in the case where we do use non-sublimated dyed materials, we make a conscious effort to use all of the materials that we produce by creating a neutral and timeless palette that can be carried over each new season.
-
All our hang tags are now made from recycled materials and fully recyclable! We have also made a conscious decision to select recyclable plastic carriers - as opposed to compostable or biodegradable bags, which most local facilities cannot process (crazy, hey!).
We are also working on making more of our gear from recycled materials. At the moment, our Essentials Collection is comprised of pieces primarily made with recycled materials. And you can be sure that our recycled fabrics perform the same as virgin materials.
-
We design new seasons with the past in mind, so that you don’t have to buy a whole new kit every year.
