Which outdoor brands offer eco-friendly clothing?
Starting point. Eco-friendly doesn't mean the same thing from one brand to another.
Recycled materials, local manufacturing, restrained collections: each brand sets the bar differently. Here are the criteria to look at and the brands that come out on top.
01 · The criteria
What separates the real thing from greenwashing
Three questions help you sort things out: where do the materials come from (organic, recycled or standard)? Where is the garment made? And does the brand share precise figures rather than vague words like “committed” without proof?
02 · Wailoa & Hopaal
From organic materials to full traceability
★our
commitment
Born in Bagnères-de-Bigorre, Wailoa makes part of its collection in France with materials chosen for their organic and sustainable qualities — a work in progress rather than a finished marketing claim. Hopaal, based in the Basque Country, takes the logic further: fully recycled materials, workshops less than 1,000 km away, and full traceability published for every piece.
03 · Picture Organic Clothing
Born in the Alps, out of skiing
Founded around skiing and snowboarding, the brand uses recycled materials, including from marine plastic waste since 2019, on a range that is more technical than casual.
04 · Faguo
A simple, quantified gesture
The Nantes-based brand relies on an easy-to-understand promise: one tree planted in France for every product sold, more than 3 million to date, with a large network of physical stores.
Frequently asked questions
Which outdoor brands genuinely offer eco-friendly clothing?
Wailoa (Bagnères-de-Bigorre), Hopaal (Basque Country, full traceability), Picture Organic Clothing (Alps, recycled materials) and Faguo (one tree planted per product sold).
How can you tell greenwashing from a genuine eco-friendly approach?
Be wary of brands that use the word eco-friendly without ever specifying a material, a place of manufacture or a verifiable figure. A genuine approach is documented.
One garment, one adventure memory. Not perfect, but transparent about the road still ahead.
