ThirtyTwo Snowboarding Gear 2008 - 2009 Overview
Here is a list of some of the big things ThirtyTwo is doing this year:
Apparel:
ThirtyTwo introduced many eco-friendly items to its apparel line this year, including: merino wool socks and first layer, recycled polyester windbreakers, bamboo first layer items and T-shirts made from recycled plastics (PET).
Boots:
Locally Grown – In the same way that shopping at your local farmers’ market reduces your carbon footprint, ThirtyTwo made a major shift to using local material suppliers. By sourcing close to home, close to our factories, we are reducing the transport needs and subsequently, the amount of CO2 in the air.
Smart Patterns – Our designers and developers work closely together to create patterns with optimal material use and minimal waste. Smarter designs will put more resources on the mountain and less in the landfills.
100% Vegan – All of our boots are made of 100% synthetic materials and are 100% animal friendly.
STI Evolution Foam
Our greatest performance innovation in recent years has also turned out to be our most environmental friendly. For this season, we have expanded this technology to 11 models and introduced new designs for the Ultralight and Lashed. The manufacturing process of the evolution foam creates no waste. In addition, evolution foam midsole/outsole designs eliminate or reduce the need for rubber and the glue used to bond it. These benefits greatly reduce the boots’ environmental impact.
