Where does it go? Performance Outerwear Edition
A new adventure for your old outerwear
Whether you’ve lived in the Pacific Northwest your whole life or moved here recently, chances are you have a strong relationship with performance outerwear. Rain jackets, ski shells, fleeces of every size/shape/color, and more fill our closets, car trunks, mudrooms, and garages. For many of us, outerwear carries a visceral memory of adventure - a hike up a mountain that was just a few miles longer than expected, or sunset watching from the beach that was 100% worth the whipping wind and “light mist” rain storm.
While these products are well-made and engineered to last - and many will serve several rounds of hand-me-down, when something does finally rip or a seam gives way, what looks like small amounts of damage can result in major functional issues (anyone who has discovered a hole in their hood in the middle of a downpour knows this all too well).
Our partnership with ReFleece is a great example of the opportunities made possible by our members. Ridwell gains access to great, like-minded companies like ReFleece because we can collect the materials they need in large quantities, and our members ensure that we provide exactly what is needed, free from contaminants or other issues.
