Arctica

Arctica is unlike many winter clothing manufacturers to the extent that Arctica uses only recycled materials that were discarded after being considered "unnecessary" excess. (In contrast, other clothing suppliers throw out fabric they cannot use; so much of this unused fabric has been produced it could be wrapped around the earth several times!) Arctica saves landfills by selecting top-quality discarded fabrics for their down jackets, vests and outerwear and always examines their finished products to ensure that they will hold up. Further, Arctica uses white goose down in their jackets and vests, a renewable insulator far superior to duck down and synthetic insulation, for more warmth per ounce of weight, enhanced breathability and down that is free from clumping.
