Spring has sprung, and with it comes early-spring unpredictable weather where adaptable and dependable outwear is a must. We've gathered three iconic pieces of outwear gear that are durable, sustainable and perfectly matched to spring in the outdoors.
Paka - The Hoodie, Unisex ($139)
Certifications: B-Corp
Sustainability Report
Paka is one of our favorite sustainable brands, with solid credentials from their use of eco-friendly and sustainable materials in the form of traceable Alpaca fur. You can literally trace your garment to the exact coordinates where your fiber was sourced. This piece is their iconic hoodie that is dyed in the mountains of Arequipa, and hand-signed by the woman artisan who wove it in Cusco. It feels even better than it looks - super soft, warm and fashionable. We can vouch for this, and Paka's socks, because they are a staple in our spring outerwear.
For those who know, this Paka Hoodie is an icon. For those who are just catching on, you're welcome.
Filson - Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket (Men's) $350
Certifications: Some products Made in the USA
Sustainability Report
This isn't the first time we've featured Filson in our "iconic" category. There's a good reason why - Filson is iconic as a brand and their products continue a long 125 year tradition of tough, durable, classic and long-lasting gear that stands up in more ways than one. This Cruiser Jacket is no exception. Classic in its design and ultra-durable in its materials and construction, the Cruiser will look good now and forever and will almost certainly outlast you. It's so good, it's made regular appearances in the TV show "Yellowstone." Hard to argue with those credentials. There are many imitators of this jacket, don't be fooled - there is only one and this is it.
Outerknown - Groovy L/S Boy Tee (Women's) - $78
Certifications: Bluesign Certified, Fairtrade Certified

This T is crafted with regenerative organic cotton from which aims to rehabilitate soil, respect animal welfare and improve the lives of farmers.

Perfect for the variable temperatures of spring, this T is sustainable and fashionable and perfect for those cool mornings at camp with just any old regular short sleeve T just won't do.
