Vivida Lifestyle: Neptune Eco Neoprene Hoodie

Did you know that the process of making standard neoprene is incredibly toxic to the environment?

Created from a synthetic rubber from petrol chemicals, then mixed with many foaming agents to create a final product, standard wetsuits and neoprene are not only made of questionable materials, they are also very energy intensive. Luckily, we have more options today when purchasing neoprene, which include more eco friendly materials and are less harmful to the planet.

The new line of neoprene from Vivida Lifestyle, including the Neptune Eco Neoprene Hoodie is made from recycled scrap tires and earth mined limestone.

The lining is created from recycled post-consumer plastic bottles, and even the glue is eco-friendly – made of a water based solution rather than chemical based. Additionally, their neoprene is produced in a facility powered by solar, with much attention paid to minimizing C0s emissions and energy utilization. Aside from the incredible sustainability profile of this neoprene, the Neptune Hoodie is super stylish and warm, with a specially design hook opening for your kite bar to fit through.

The design showcases Vivida’s classic Map of Dreams print, which highlights many incredible locations across the globe. For extra warmth and protection from the elements, this is the ideal neoprene hoodie that will last you for years to come.
