Let’s dive in and learn a little more about what makes Tellus different ...
Durable Fabrics for Sustainable Hiking Clothing
When it comes to sustainable hiking clothing, everything begins with the fabric. We design our outerwear with recycled and organic materials. Recycled fabrics, like rPET (recycled polyester), are created from post-consumer waste such as plastic bottles, while recycled nylon comes from discarded fishing nets. Both of these materials keep waste out of landfills and are known for their durability. We also use Seawool® — an innovative blend of rPET and crushed oyster shell waste. Our recycled fabrics are tough, weather-resistant, and built to last.
Ethical Supply Chains Behind Sustainable Hiking Clothing
Better materials are only part of the story. Truly sustainable hiking clothing depends on the entire supply chain, from manufacturing and work environments to packaging and shipping. That’s why we partner with factories in Vietnam that hold respected global sustainability certifications. These certifications ensure that every step of production meets rigorous environmental and ethical standards, so you can trust the gear you wear was responsibly made. The result is gear that delivers benefits far beyond the trail.
Performance Without Compromise
There’s a myth out there that says eco-friendly sustainable hiking clothing means subpar performance. And this couldn’t be more wrong. In fact, eco-friendly Tellus products are high-end items that exceed performance expectations. Tellus sustainable hiking clothing is built to last on the trail, with durable designs that stand up to the elements and outerwear you can count on for reliable weather protection.
