Backpacker's Editor's Choice "Green Award"

GoLite has been honored with Backpacker Magazine's 2010 Editors’ Choice Award, for its extensive use of Tier 1 recycled fabrics. Read all about it in the Press Release section of "The Meaning of Lite".

Thinsulate™

Thinsulate^TM--Thinsulate insulation works by trapping air molecules between your body and the outside. The more air a material traps in a given space, the greater its insulating value. Because the microfibers in Thinsulate insulation are far finer than other fibers, they trap more air in less space, which naturally makes it a better insulator—more breathable, moisture-resistant, machine washable and dry-cleanable.

Recycled Content

Our newly developed Tier 1 recycled polyester and nylon materials test to the same high standards as their conventional, non-recycled alternatives. We use them whenever possible because of the massive reductions in energy use and resource consumption required to produce them vs. the virgin, petroleum-based alternatives. More information can be found under ‘Performance Technology’ within ‘The Meaning of Lite’ section of this website.

The GoLite index is a report card we developed that measures each of our products against our social and environmental impact goals. By using our sustainable design principles along with rigorous grading criteria, we assess the impact of 100% of our products. We score each product in three major areas: Environmentally Preferred Materials, Responsible Production, and Education & End-of-Life Programs. These categories get at the environmental quality of the materials we use, the human rights performance of the factory where the product was made, and the responsibility we take for our product's end-of-life.
