Does Paddy Pallin stock any environmentally friendly travel shorts?

At Paddy Pallin, we love experiencing the outdoors, and we’re also passionate about protecting the environment we play in. We choose to stock industry leading brands that share our ethos for the natural world as we only have the one planet, and we understand fast fashion is a big issue for the environment at a global level - this is one of the reasons we endeavour to stock high-quality outdoor gear that will last through the many adventures ahead of you. Many of the brands we stock in hiking shorts for men, such as Royal Robbins, are made with eco-friendly bluesign® approved fabrics that follow strict guidelines to keep the people and environment safe during manufacture. Many more of the brands we stock are also leaning further into creating their travel shorts with recycled materials and natural fibres, to help combat the rising tide of plastic waste. Patagonia’s hiking shorts range consists of 65% to 100% recycled materials. Even the DWR (Durable Water Repellency) treatment to bead light rain off the fabrics are now non-PFC, to help prevent chemicals from entering the environment we explore. From recycled polyester and recycled nylon, to recycled spandex, brands are stripping down dis-used materials to their base fibre and re-spinning them into new styles of hiking shorts for men that we can feel confident about, both in their durability and their eco-friendly revamp.
