Sustainability
Built to last. Made with purpose.
Our Approach
Better materials
Choosing more responsible materials whenever performance allows
Built to last
Durability is sustainability. We design gloves meant to perform season after season
Responsible sourcing
Working toward more responsible leather, insulation and textile sourcing.
Less waste
Improving our collections, packaging and processes to reduce unnecessary waste.
Products built to last and built for winter
Two standout models reflect our vision: the mountain adventure and Cypress GTX Active gloves. Made with certified veg-tan nubuck leather , recycled Primaloft insulation, Kevlar stitching and Yulex cuff (a natural latex alternative to neoprene), these gloves offer performance, durability, and a reduced environnement footprin. All our water-repellant treatments are nos PFAS-free, thank to partners like Rudolof Group and Stahl.
The mountain adventure
The Mountain Adventure reflects our approach to preferred materials: making more thoughtful material choices without compromising performance or durability. It combines veg-tan leather, recycled PrimaLoft® insulation, a recycled polyester cuff made from plastic bottles, and durable Kevlar® stitching. Each component is selected to help reduce the product’s environmental impact while delivering the warmth, protection and durability needed for demanding days in the mountains.
Measurable progress on all fronts
In 2023, 28% of our collection incorporated sustainable materials such as recycled fabrics, veg-tan leather, or certified insulation. Our goal is to reach 75% by 2027—an ambitious target we aim to achieve through strong partnerships with our suppliers. Similarly, 16% of the leather we use already comes from Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified tanneries, and we are on track to reach 100% in the medium term. Additionally, 78% of our styles were carried over from one season to the next, promoting product continuity, repairability, and a reduction in textile waste.
Monitoring our carbon footprint
Our greenhouse gas emissions analysis shows that 91% of our footprint comes from Scope 3 sources—that is, raw materials, transportation, and distribution. To address this, we have significantly reduced our reliance on air freight, opting instead for sea freight. We've also implemented tangible actions such as installing an electric vehicle charging station at our headquarters and introducing a remote work policy to reduce daily commuting. Our goal: cut emissions related to air transport by 75%.
A strong commitment to people and community
We believe that a truly sustainable product begins with an ethical supply chain. That’s why 100% of our partner factories are audited by third-party organizations (BSCI or SMETA). In Montreal, our team reflects a commitment to equity, with perfect gender parity. Beyond our internal practices, we support various social and sports-related causes each year—including Dans La Rue, Maison du Père, POW Canada, and Fast and Female—with over $10,000 in product donations and financial contributions.
Looking ahead
We are currently preparing a glove repair and take-back program for 2026. Our packaging is now made from recycled or FSC-certified cardboard, and we are actively working to eliminate single-use plastics in our logistics processes.
