Properly used, Sea to Summit Leave No Trace products will not only improve your experience in the backcountry, they will help you tread lighter in the wilderness.

This product is free of any Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). This means that the production process is significantly more environmentally friendly, and the disposal of the product at the end of its life will also not burden the environment. With advances in modern polymers, it also means there's no reduction in performance.

The polyester in the main body fabric contains 100% certified recycled content, independently certified to the Recycled Claim Standard (RCS). The RCS verifies recycled content and tracks it from the source to the final product. The purchase of RCS-certified products demonstrate demand for recycled content. Sea to Summit is certified to the RCS by Control Union License 1114661.

Thermoplastic Urethane (TPU) is a PVC-free material used in a number of functional areas within Sea to Summit products:

1. As an airproof barrier in our Air-Sprung Cell and Self-Inflating mats. Here it is used in a liquid-extruded format – the TPU bonds to the face fabric for the highest possible level of reliability.
2. As a waterproof barrier in our Accessory Guide Cases and Map Cases; and in several models of our Dry Sacks. Here it is used in a film format, where its superior flexibility (even in cold weather) and waterproofness are key.
3. As a waterproof barrier in the Nylon Folding Bucket. This particular film is also food grade – ideal for water storage.
4. As a transparent window in View Dry Sacks and Travelling Light products – allowing you (and TSA inspectors) to see the contents.

Sea to Summit dry bags, compression bags and storage sacks are made without PFAS compounds. The non-PFAS DWR finish on the shell helps prevent fabrics from wetting out, increasing their waterproof properties and keep forever chemicals out of the environment.
