Outdoor clothing has recently seen an upsurge in usage outside of its intended purpose, leading to some to view this as acceptable and others considering it inappropriate.

Arc’teryx was founded by climbers and has specialized in hardcore tech apparel ever since its establishment. Their range covers fast and light climbing gear to taped seam severe weather shells designed for extreme conditions – everything they make has been carefully constructed to endure tough terrain.

Allbirds

No matter if you’re hiking, running, or simply hanging out with friends; clothing should not only be comfortable but also environmentally-friendly. Sustainable men’s casual outdoor clothing brands use as little water and energy in production so as to not pollute the environment – plus these materials don’t harm people or animals!

Allbirds began as a footwear brand but has grown into offering shoes, shirts, jogging pants and face masks made from sustainable materials like ZQ Merino wool, Eucalyptus fiber and Sugar Cane Sweetfoam mid soles. Allbirds features durable water repellent finishes free of fluorine that are OEKO-Tex standard 100 certified; furthermore they’re certified B-corporations as well as carbon neutral with water and energy conserving practices at their factories.

Their shipping is fast and affordable – starting from just $5! Plus they provide four different speeds within the contiguous United States for maximum flexibility. Furthermore, they donate money twice each year to environmental activist groups and organizations.

Coalatree

Coalatree designs eco-conscious gear for the outdoor adventurer in us all. Utilizing innovative materials like recycled plastics and coffee grounds, Coalatree partners with environmental organizations such as Navajo Adopt a Native Elder and trail maintenance groups as well as being Fair Wear/Bluesign certified so their factories pay living wages to workers.

Their products are not only earth-friendly, but they’re designed to withstand the rigors of life outdoors. The Trailhead Pants, for example, are water resistant yet breathable; they shed raindrops or horse milk that might get on you while hiking in Kyrgyzstan while drying quickly.

The Barrage Technical Shell jacket is an easily packable layer made of S.Cafe fabric–repurposed from coffee grounds and plastic waste–with UPF protection to keep you warm on any chilly adventure. Plus, its waterproof and odorproof properties make it the ideal layer for unpredictable weather conditions.

Nudie Jeans

Nudie Jeans of Gothenburg, Sweden is one of the oldest sustainable clothing brands. Established as a denim manufacturer, their range has since expanded to produce T-shirts, Insulated Jackets and Parkas using recycled materials and prioritising social and environmental responsibility in all production processes.

Nudie considers each pair of jeans they produce “forever jeans,” meaning the company intends for them to outlive their owner and be passed down multiple times. In addition, free repairs for life and a re-use program allow customers to trade in old Nudie jeans for discounts when making future purchases.

Sustainability practices at Patagonia Outdoor Clothing include transparency and traceability throughout their supply chains, with audits by Fair Wear Foundation to verify compliance with Fair Wear Foundation standards. They pay living wages to workers at each factory that produces Patagonia apparel – qualities which make it one of the top choices when it comes to ethical outdoor apparel for men.

As soon as it comes to hiking or looking like one, these mens outdoor clothing brands have you covered. Offering everything from odor-resistant merino wool tees and travel pants with backpack capabilities to ethical fashion and sustainable production practices such as hemp, yak wool and organic cotton fabrics that combine softness with durability for an incredible outdoor experience.

Patagonia may dominate the “American Outdoors” look, but even if going head-to-toe Patagonia makes you appear like a Silicon Valley bro, there are still plenty of jackets, tees, and bags worthy of placing in your closet.

William Ellery of Brooklyn has made its mark in menswear fashion by crafting rugged pieces that seamlessly combine functionality and style. Their signature slouchy rollnecks and waxed jackets look fantastic when paired with trail-ready boots, while its nubby cargo pants pair nicely with lug-sole loafers for maximum style points.
