BUILT TO LAST
The Snowgum contribution to the environment
A Snowgum product will last years. We don’t make land-fill ‘trash’ fashion. Our environmental story is that a Snowgum product will provide many years of use and be handed down and on – not end up in land fill after a season.
Fabrics, construction and classic styling built to last.
Reduce your impact on the planet by buying one jacket to hand down through your three kids then pass on to your niece or nephew… and have them pass on to their cousins…
Our brand story is ‘climate control clothing’ – every fabric we use has a performance purpose. We are also always searching for environmentally friendly fabrics that can deliver this performance – bamboo for example which is a sustainable fabric, made from rapid growth plantation bamboo – delivering natural anti-microbial performance in finished fabric. Where practical we’ll also use organic cottons or recycled polyester.
But our product story is performance, quality and durability first, environmentally friendly materials second. We think a cotton-coolmax® shirt that wicks, breathes and will last for 5 years of regular use is better over time for the environment than a soy & organic cotton shirt that wears out and ends up in land-fill after one season.
