Thank you for this piece! I am an avid cyclist and really struggle with this — the clothes that take me outdoors are synthetic! There are good brands, but most are focused on reuse/recycling/using offcuts but haven’t yet solved for the core issue of synthetic fibers. On a personal note - I got a Guppy Bag to wash them in; it’s a start!

Thank you for reading!! Synthetics in athletic and outdoors wear are especially tricky... I have a Guppy Bag too and I love it!! :)

I started a brand called Mairin that makes clothing for the outdoors but using only natural materials (including dyes and finishes). Check it out :)
