1. Nau Cleanline Jacket
Built-in stretch and minimalist design make this 100-percent-recycled-polyester soft shell crag- and curb-friendly. $220; nau.com

2. El Naturalista Moai
Wear these slip-ons to the eco-lodge: They have hand-stitched uppers, natural rubber outsoles, and vegetable-tanned leather. $160; elnaturalista.com

3. Ex Officio Tofutech Tee Shirt
Soy fabric makes this wicking technical tee incredibly soft. $34; exofficio.com

4. GoLite Drimove Sleeveless Top
Carbon particles from coconut husks give this ultralight shirt odor resistance. Recycled polyester makes it quick-drying and moisture-wicking. $28; golite.com

The ReSource pack series, available this summer, employs recycled fabric, webbing, buckles, zipper pulls, and more. $99; ospreypacks.com

6. Timberland Greenscapes Mountain Sneaker
The outsole is recycled. The leather vegetable-tanned. But that's not all: It's Timberland's first shoe to carry the company's groundbreaking Green Index label, which rates a product on its overall environmental impact. $95; timberland.com
