There’s nothing quite like being outside. Walking, going for a run or simply breathing fresh air. Spending time outdoors slows you down, clears your mind and resets you inside, even if it’s only for a few minutes.
It doesn’t matter whether you escape for a couple of hours into nature or go for a walk to unwind from the day. When you’re outside, everything feels different, and that’s where outdoor clothing comes into its own. Garments that adapt to what you do and let you enjoy your surroundings even more.
And when those garments are made with sustainable materials, they last longer and have a much lower impact on the environment you love being in.
Before heading out: what to consider when choosing outdoor clothing
The first thing is to think about the kind of outing you’re planning. A walk is not the same as a more active adventure. But in every case, the same qualities are appreciated: clothing that breathes and doesn’t weigh you down.
Above all, choose pieces that last. Clothing that isn’t just “for this outing” but can be worn throughout winter, in spring, or on that spontaneous weekend escape. When a garment stands the test of time, it also looks after the planet.
The layering rule
There’s a simple way to get it right: think in three layers.
-
The first layer keeps you dry. A lightweight, breathable t-shirt that avoids that sticky feeling of humidity on the skin.
-
The second layer keeps you warm without feeling stifling. A sustainable or soft thermal sweatshirt that you appreciate when the wind blows or you stop to rest.
-
The third layer protects you from the outside. A light, compact technical jacket is that “just in case” piece that always ends up saving the day.
Does sustainable outdoor clothing exist?
Yes. And at Ecoalf we make it possible with our Sport collection. We design outdoor clothing that supports you when you step outside, while also caring for the planet by reducing environmental impact. These are lightweight, functional pieces made from sustainable materials that extend their lifespan.
A sports t-shirt, a soft sweatshirt, a lightweight technical jacket or comfortable leggings are all you really need to move freely. Versatile pieces designed to last and to be part of a more responsible cycle.
With this collection, we contribute to circular fashion that makes the most of what already exists, helping you enjoy the outdoors more consciously.
The Ecoalf vision: enjoying the outdoors while caring for what surrounds us
At Ecoalf, we see the outdoors as a way of being in the world: going out, moving, breathing and reconnecting with what makes us feel good. That is why we believe enjoying nature and caring for the planet should always go hand in hand.
Our sustainable outdoor clothing is born from this vision. Garments that let you move comfortably, that last over time and that are part of a more circular model, where we use what already exists to avoid extracting new resources.
