Supplies for Life Off the Beaten Path

Artilect/Boulder Crew & Legging

Artilect is all about sustainability and supplies for life off the beaten path. This company uses high amounts of natural merino wool, along with small amounts of synthetics. They are combined with a Nuyarn structure to make the Boulder’s merino base layers warmer, tougher, and lighter. These products are drier, more stretchy, longer-lasting, and have a smaller carbon footprint than others.
