It’s a Cold World
Out There

Let’s Keep It That Way

Like you, we’re all about living the cold-weather lifestyle. We want help keep cold, snow, and ice part of the places we live, love, and explore. So in keeping you Warm Where It Counts!™, we're also doing our best do our part behind the scenes.

Keeping It Cool for the Planet

Our approach is “bake in” good business practices right from the start. Below is how we established that foundation. From here we are looking for more ways that help out there, like supporting local communities and partners.

“We look at this as cleaning up after ourselves—like taking out
the trash—but also trying to create less trash in the first place.”
— The PolarJock® Team

U.S. Manufacturing + U.S. / Recycled Materials

  • PolarJock® uses 100% U.S. manufacturing, since part of mindful manufacturing is transportation.

  • Two-thirds of our materials are made in the U.S. and/or are recycled materials. 

  • The Polartec® fleece we use is 100% Recycled Polyester. Polartec® is also the creator of Eco-Engineering™ which sets the standard for sustainable textiles, including the world’s first fully recycled and biodegradable fleece.

  • We also use minimal labels and packaging made from recycled materials.

Minimal Design = Near Zero Waste

The cutting tables of an apparel-making facility can result in scrap fabric that easily goes in the trash. PolarJock™, however, creates virtually no waste. Here’s why and what else we’re doing to eliminate our impact there as well.

  • To start, PolarJock® is minimally designed, streamlined to get the job done with no extra bulk

  • Both our product design and cutting procedures maximize every inch of fabric yardage

  • Whatever small amount of material waste remains is collected and repurposed, “upcycled.” It takes a while to accumulate any substantial amount, but we do collect it for reuse.

Supporting Community Partners

Coming Soon … How we plan to support the organizations doing great work for public lands, the planet, and local communities, to make sure Warm Where It Counts!™ adds to that good work as well.
