ReZion is a unique fabric developed by prAna, composed of 95% recycled nylon and 5% spandex. This blend makes it durable, stretchy, and comfortable, perfect for outdoor activities like hiking and climbing. By using recycled materials, ReZion helps reduce waste and the environmental impact associated with new fabric production, making it a great choice for eco-conscious adventurers.

UPF, or Ultraviolet Protection Factor, measures how well a fabric protects your skin from harmful UV rays. A UPF rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of UV radiation, significantly reducing the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage. Choosing clothing with a high UPF rating is essential for safe and enjoyable outdoor experiences, especially in sunny conditions.

A gusseted crotch is a design feature that adds extra fabric in the crotch area of pants or shorts. This design enhances freedom of movement and ventilation, making the garment more comfortable during physical activities like climbing or hiking. It allows for a better range of motion, so you can focus on your adventure without feeling restricted.

An integrated webbing belt is a built-in feature that provides a secure and adjustable fit without the bulk of a traditional belt. This design is particularly useful for outdoor activities, as it can be worn comfortably with a harness or other gear. It ensures that your shorts stay in place while allowing for easy adjustments, enhancing your overall comfort during your adventures.

While Bluesign Approved products may sometimes have a higher price point due to the sustainable practices and materials used in their production, they offer long-term value through durability and environmental responsibility. Investing in these products supports ethical manufacturing and can lead to savings over time, as they are often designed to last longer than conventional options.
