We don't believe in disposable fashion. At SummitStrap, every fiber is selected for its ability to withstand the elements while leaving a lighter footprint on the peaks we love to climb.
Explore Our MaterialsWhy use virgin plastic when we can repurpose what already exists? Our straps utilize high-tenacity recycled nylon sourced from post-industrial waste. It's not just "green"—it's 40% more abrasion-resistant than standard webbing. We treat it with a PFC-free water repellent right here in our New York facility to ensure it handles the sleet as well as it handles the sun.
Our buckles aren't cast in bulk overseas. They're precision-milled from 7075-T6 aluminum scraps reclaimed from the aviation industry. Every buckle tells a story of flight before it ends up securing your gear on a trail in the Adirondacks. Have you ever wondered why most belts feel flimsy? It's usually the hardware. Ours is built to outlast the pants you wear it with.
"Sustainability isn't a marketing buzzword for us; it's the raw materials of our legacy."
"Finally, a belt that doesn't slip during a 10-mile hike. The recycled nylon feels incredibly premium."
