Designed for Minimal Impact

We want our products to enhance the natural experiences we love, not threaten them. We source quality materials that tread lightly on our planet while working hard on the trail.

We're proud to work with top-tier factories, that hold the highest certifications and integrity in the industry.

Materials

Global Recycled Standard Logo
SMAwarm Premium Insulation Logo

Ultralight 100% recycled polyester

Hikas™ are made from an ultralight, quick dry, moisture resistant, material that is super soft and durable. At just 2.5 oz and easily packable, they're a hassle-free addition to your pack.

Oysters and Recycled Plastic Bottles!

The odor-resistant and anti-microbial insulation inside Hikas is special. It's created from oyster shells and 100% post consumer PET (aka plastic bottles).

Trims

We source everything with quality and durability in mind.

The elastics used are of the highest quality available. We are particularly excited about our low-profile elastic along the bottom of the foot. It's soft, thin, and you can't feel it.

We haven't yet found recycled trims that meet our standards. During one of our sub-zero tests, a recycled plastic hardware component cracked, failing our quality test.

We continue to research alternative trim options that meet our sustainability goals.
