Sustainability in Sportswear - Stories about ethical and ecological values

When the wanderlust hits, you are looking for some inspiration for your next trips OR you are stuck at home and you wish to remote travel while sitting on your couch - we have a cure for you.

We listed a few of our favorite outdoor photographers on Instagram.

Patagonia is a widely known outdoor clothing company focusing on sustainable manufacturing and ethical conduct in all its operations. This time we are focusing on highly popular sustainable shell-jackets from Patagonia. Each with different details and characteristics, we decided it's time to take a closer look to find out, which are the main differences between each jacket. 

It's easy to travel and take an outdoor adventure on your home sofa while watching amazing nature documentaries or wild outdoor movies. We decided to gather the list of the best outdoor adventure and sports movies and documentaries that can be found on Netflix. 

Are Yoga pants just for Yoga? Definitely not!

Working out at home is an easy way to squeeze time for a couple of pushups when there is no time to head for the gym. We asked from our Weekendbee-community recommendations of best places to look for inspiration for a home workout, yoga, pilates or other wellness activities. 

Whether you are spending the winter in town or hitting the mountains for some extreme sports, check out these winter layering tips to keep warm in style.

Layering adds versatility to any outfit, allows you to mix and match and easily adjust your temperature.  While, the air that is trapped between your clothes acts as an insulator and retains warmth. Layering typically includes a base or inner layer, a middle and an outer layer.

Here, at Weekendbee, we hold a collection of sustainably made and trendy looking clothes from brands like  Patagonia,  Népra, and  Girlfriend Collective! We care how our yoga clothes are made and we also care how good they make us feel!

Finding your best yoga and activewear brand, just became easier than doing the workout itself! More and more active and outdoor brands are becoming conscious of how they make, design, ship and produce their clothes, but there are a few yoga and activewear brands that really stand out.

Wool outperforms any other fabrics when it comes to moisture-wicking, warmth and odor-fighting capabilities. Merino wool is known for its quality, softness and ability to regulate body temperature even during high-intensity activity. Wool fibers have scales that are removed to make the fiber soft and comfortable using a unique process that is chlorine-free. Weekendbee offers only 100 % mulesing-free merino wool products. 

Merino is naturally anti-bacterial and it doesn’t stink like synthetic fibers, so you don’t have to wash the shirt so often – drying and airing it out is usually enough. 

So why should we pay attention that our favorite merino wool sportswear is mulesing-free? 

Daypack, trip or travel pack? Here’s a list of our best sustainable backpacks for outdoor and urban adventures! This one is for all of you, travelers and digital nomads! Some of these are made entirely from waste materials or recycled fabrics; others from renewable cloth; and a few certified fair-trade!

Nothing new anymore, that fashion is one of the most polluting industries on this planet. They say that about 84% of textiles end up in the landfill, within the first year of purchasing it!

As skiers and snowboarders, we are connected to the environment, but our gear and habits can sometimes live in conflict with environmental ideals. While living and recreating will always have a give and take with environmentalism, one way we can reduce our impact is by purchasing gear from companies that produce sustainably at the forefront.

Tested in Nordic conditions, "Made In Finland" is a guarantee that the product will keep you warm and dry in all weather conditions. Choosing local Finnish products delights and supports the local clothing companies.
