Materials Matter – United By Blue

We believe that products designed for enjoying the outdoors should also be kind to the outdoors. So we put a lot of thought into the materials that make up each piece and always opt for textiles that keep our oceans, air and soil a little cleaner.

Bison Down

A byproduct of the bison meat industry too often discarded by ranchers – a shame since it's even warmer than wool (and better for moisture control, too).

Organic Cotton

Which (unlike conventional cotton) is made without the chemical fertilizers and pesticides that often drain into our waterways – and it's addictively soft.

Corozo Buttons

Carved from the Tagua nut and 100% natural.

Hemp

A natural fiber that's known for durability and strength. Makes sense that the first American flag was sewn from this stuff.

Polartec

A leading manufacturer of performance fabrics known for creating quick drying, breathable, and insulating textiles. We use versions made from post-consumer recycled materials.

Primaloft Eco Insulation

An industry-leading insulation made with post-consumer recycled materials to give a highly compressible, breathable, packable and water-resistant insulation that is warm without the weight.

Recycled Polyester

Made from recycled plastic bottles and other unusable manufacturing waste (it takes less energy to produce, too).

Recycled Ripstop

A resilient fabric often used to make sails since it's resistant to wind, rain, and rips.

Tencel

Manufactured from eucalyptus trees, which require little water and grow fast and thick without the use of pesticides or insecticides.

Wool

A natural and renewable resource (since sheep are shorn annually). Wool is biodegradable, so it's much gentler to the environment that oil-based synthetics.

For every product purchased, United by Blue removes one pound of trash from oceans and waterways.
