Sustainability

Cost Per Use

·Recycled — Often priced comparably to virgin materials. You get the same performance while diverting waste.
·Nylon — Quality nylon bags and gear can last decades with daily use.
·Priced around $100 (midpoint of $50–$150 for Apparel). At ~8 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 1 years — and falls to roughly 21¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
