At Montane® we understand that environmental concerns have become an important issue to the public at large. As a mountain brand we believe we have an equal obligation to both economic and environmental responsibility. It makes sense to protect the outdoors to ensure our customers and employees can continue to enjoy what they do whether it be climbing, running or biking in the mountains.
Montane® designs and constructs products to last longer. We believe that a high quality product which maintains its performance characteristics and aesthetic appeal for many years is more environmentally responsible than one that must be replaced frequently due to inferior materials, poor quality workmanship, or seasonally influenced fashion trends.
Due to the present state of textile technology and our unwillingness to sacrifice technical performance, the majority of Montane® products are made with materials derived from non-renewable resources. We have not yet found acceptable renewable alternatives that don't substantially affect our product's performance or durability. We continually evaluate fabrics made from renewable sources and when any meet our criteria for quality and performance we will, and have already begun integrating them into our product line.
We regularly review environmental legislation and adhere to all requirements of the environmental protection laws.
