Our Verdict
This visor is a fantastic option for eco-conscious athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. It is made of sustainable materials, ethically produced, and designed with high-performance design.
The recycled polyester construction makes this visor lightweight yet durable, with excellent breathability to keep you cool and dry during high-intensity activities. The DWR finish provides water resistance without using harmful PFCs. The brim is made from recycled fishing nets through Bureo's NetPlus program, giving new life to ocean plastic waste.
Comfort is not sacrificed for sustainability. The soft EVA brim insert prevents irritation against the forehead, and the sweatband uses miDori bioSoft technology for superior wicking to keep you dry. The HeiQ odour control helps this visor stay fresh between washes.
But this visor truly stands out because it's Fair Trade Certified, meaning the workers who made it earned a premium wage in a facility meeting stringent labour standards. You can feel good knowing your purchase directly benefited people and the planet.
