Eco-Friendly Wetsuits
🌊 Calling all ocean explorers! It’s time to suit up responsibly and defend our aquatic playground from the clutches of PFAS (aka forever chemicals)! These sneaky chemicals not only threaten marine life with their villainous grip but also wreak havoc on human health faster than a speeding torpedo.
Ditch neoprene—seal it away in a plastic bag and Switch to Patagonia’s Yulex brand instead! This eco-friendly alternative doesn’t just brave the elements; it keeps you snug and dry, ensuring you’re ready for any underwater adventure. I’ve used my Yulex jacket to keep me warm on countless snorkeling and kayaking adventures. Dive into the inspiring saga of how Patagonia champions sustainability while crafting top-tier gear.

PFAS-Free Rain Jackets for Women
Conventional GORE-TEX coatings found on outdoor clothing contain persistent chemicals that are seeping into various aspects of our lives – from our bloodstream and mother’s milk to water sources, soil, skies, and wildlife. Reduce your exposure to PFAS toxins by swapping out your old raincoat treated with DWR/GORE-TEX for one featuring high-performance PFAS-free waterproof coatings.Â

Sidekick tip: Once you’re ready to retire your PFAS-laden rain jacket, give it a grand farewell by sealing it in a regular plastic bag before sending it off. This way, you’ll ensure it doesn’t unleash its villainous powers on unsuspecting birds of prey or pollute the groundwater in the landfill—it’s a parting gesture fit for a supervillain’s defeat!
