The performance of microfiber and better, but made from plants. Not oil.
Plastic microfibers from synthetic textiles (including microfiber) are the single greatest contributor to ocean microplastic pollution.
The solution?
Recycling plastics into textiles. Sourcing climate-friendly plant fibers like hemp and TENCEL ™ Lyocell.
On current trend, the amount of plastic microfibers entering the ocean between 2015 and 2050, could accumulate to more than 22 million tons. Plastic microfibers contain carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting chemicals known to harm living organisms across the food chain.
Microplastic fibers also harbor and spread bacteria and viruses through ecosystems affecting even the most pristine corners of the planet.
The future of outdoor gear is here.

Designed with intention.
Lava towels are tightly woven with long, smooth, naturally anti-static fibers so the sand, dirt and leaves remain in the outdoors instead of on your towel, on you, in your pack or in your home.
Hemp and TENCELTM are very easy to care for. Simply machine wash your Lava towels in cold water, no hotter than 60 degrees F. Tumble dry on low heat or hang them to dry. To achieve maximum absorbency, avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets.
Hang up your bath sheet or wrap it around your body for a bit of privacy while you change clothing.
Hang up your bath sheet to block the sun from entering your campsite or your rig.
Wrap and tie your bath sheet around your waist.
Simply loop one corner of the hand towel through the hemp loop and you've got an instant bandana! Pour some cool water on it when you need an instant cooldown.
Keep the sweat and slip away with your new favorite workout accessory.
Perfect for holding a handful of snacks in your lap or as a quick and easy place napkin.
Hemp requires as little as 3% of the water cotton requires to grow and is a carbon-sink plant capturing more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits.
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers have gained a commendafble reputation for their environmentally responsible closed loop production process, which transforms sustainably sourced wood pulp into cellulosic fibers with high resource efficiency and low environmental impact. This solvent-spinning process recycles process water and reuses the solvent at a recovery rate of more than 99%.
