Fabric & Technology

GoLite is committed to creating products with sustainable fabric and technology is helping us do just that. We expect our performance wear to do everything – keep us warm and dry, cool us down, resist the rain, guard against UV rays, and help us move comfortably and effortlessly. That’s why we developed our Recycled Collection. Every piece of GoLite clothing is made from recycled bottles that are sorted, melted, spun, and woven into durable fabric. 

By using recycled bottles, we are reducing the amount of plastic in landfills and oceans, and reducing the energy it requires to manufacture new fabric. Each garment is made to last with comfort and style in mind, no matter how you seize the day. Take a closer look at how we work with our partners to make it all happen.

The best way to recycle plastic bottles is to wear them.

It all starts with collection, sorting, cleaning and shredding the plastic bottles into chips. Then the chips are melted, extruded, and spun into high strength, high performance and super comfortable yarns. Hard work? Worth it when the result saves more than 50% of the energy typically required to make new fibers. Wear your plastic bottles proudly.

ReGreen

Green goes with everything, particularly the planet.

By using recycled green bottles (often left in landfills), we save over 50% of the energy normally required to make fabric. By utilizing the green color from bottles, as opposed to dying, we further reduce water consumption by up to 80%. We think the planet looks a lot better in green.

People create problems; it’s up to caring people to solve those problems.

GoLite works in partnership with Da.Ai to integrate leading recycled fabrics and processes into our collection. Da.Ai works with many recycling volunteers who's heart for recycling is what makes this process special.
