Interested in doing a little more for the environment? I was roaming through Dick’s Sporting Goods yesterday and ran across Under Armour’s new line of recycled athletic wear. How do they do it? They take plastic bottles, wash them, shred them, melt them and then make tiny cubes. They then heat the tiny cubes to a point where the cubes can be stretched into long threads. The threads then get woven into fabric. And voila, you have a recycled fabric. I am sure there are some steps they don’t tell us that keeps the product and process proprietary.

I have not tried the product out yet so I can’t comment on how it wears and works, but they claim it wears and wicks like their other lines. I am looking forward to trying this new green line out.
