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.
