Costa’s high-quality glass lenses have always set the standard for optical clarity. Now the frames in its Untangled collection are made entirely of old fishing nets.


Adidas Primeknit Midlayer ($185)

This recycled-polyester piece is exceptionally comfortable. It’s stretchy and breathable in high-movement areas and more durable where needed. Seams lie flat and don’t bunch up.


Toad&Co Hartland SS Dress ($85)

Layered over jeans or under a jacket, the Hartland is versatile. It’s pieced together from recycled fabrics and repurposed plastic bottles; side pockets add a touch of functionality.


Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Jacket ($325)

You’ll barely notice the 8.8-ounce Ghost Whisperer (7.8 ounces for the women’s version). The lining and shell use secondhand materials, and testers felt cozy wrapped in the 800-fill goose-down insulation.


Cotopaxi Camaya Tote ($45)

Made from reclaimed nylon, this is an eye-catching accessory on day hikes and office commutes. It has two pockets, plus the main compartment, for easy organization.


Norrøna Roldal Thermo100 Pullover ($299)

Why choose between looking stylish and staying warm when you can have it both ways? This sweater is windproof, and full-length side zippers make for easy on and off.


Tepui Upcycle Pack ($105)

Send in your battered and worn Tepui rooftop-tent cover and the company will revive it as a pack, duffel, or tote. The results resist weather and abuse from baggage handlers.


Mountainsmith Tripster Waist Pack ($45)

A collaboration between Mountainsmith, Green Guru, and REI, the Tripster upcycles materials like old bike tubes and pack scraps. No two look the same.
