Best Eco-friendly Ski Gear

by The Skiing Experts

As consumers that are worried about climate change we want to do our small part to help reduce CO2 emissions and landfill waste. Ski companies are doing their part to offer their outdoor enthusiasts the right eco-friendly equipment that is up to the same standards as their non-environmentally friendly counterparts. This article will look at different eco-friendly ski poles, jackets, hats, and skis. Note: I have not been endorsed by any of these companies to give my opinions of their ski gear.

Eco-friendly ski poles

Komperdell

The Komperdell bamboo ski poles are the perfect match for someone who wants good looking and functional eco-friendly ski poles. Bamboo is the perfect choice for environmentally conscious individuals since it is quick growing, very durable, and does not take a lot of energy to refine. The bamboo poles are very strong and can handle harsh conditions without breaking. I recommend checking out to find a pair of the Komperdell bamboo ski poles for only $99.

Eco-friendly skis

Kingswood Megafat 185

The Kingswood Megafat 185 is handmade in New Zealand and is made from a Bamboo core. The skis come in sizes ranging from 182cm to 199cm and are also wide for a new kind of skiing experience from Kingswood. The bamboo base is environmentally friendly because bamboo is quickly growing and a renewable resource that takes limited energy to refine.

Eco-friendly ski jackets

Patagonia

Patagonia is one of favorite outdoor jacket companies as well as the first choice for many skiers. Jackets such as the men’s Synchilla jacket as well as many other jackets on the Patagonia lineup are made from 100% recycled polyester. The jackets can also be recycled after use, which makes them environmentally friendly to make and when you are done with them. The Patagonia company takes a strong stance on environmental issues, which makes them a great eco-friendly company to purchase from.

Eco-friendly ski hats

Rawganique Hemp Ski Hat

The 10″ Rawganique hemp ski hat is made from environmentally hemp without pesticides or harmful dyes. The hats come in many fun colors such as natural, black, blue, green, and burgundy. For a price of $13, the Rawganique is a great choice for hip eco-friendly skiers that don’t want to break the bank. I recommend checking out the Rawganique site for more ski clothing products and styles.
