We’re Green!
For us, time spent riding provides a direct understanding of what’s at stake. Protecting the planet is about the environments we utilize everyday. We need clean air to skate, clean water to surf, and snow to ride. For 14 years, Arbor has built on this understanding, replacing environmentally harmful materials with natural alternatives. The goal is to create a higher level of function, relevance, and style in the most responsible way possible. To that end, 98% of our apparel is made with bamboo-based fabrics. We believe that bamboo is the most environmentally friendly fabric available, providing a unique combination of ecological and performance benefits that make it today’s most promising alternative.
