About Coalatree:

Salt Lake City-based Coalatree make timeless outdoor gear and accessories with only sustainable, environmental materials and methods. With the sale of every product, they aim to clothe, feed and empower those less fortunate both at home and abroad.

Coalatree’s Impact: Humanitarian

With every purchase of a Coalatree product, a portion of the proceeds goes to one of the many nonprofits or causes the brand supports. Purchasing a kachula blanket, for instance, pays directly into the production costs of creating another blanket to keep someone warm during Salt Lake City’s harsh winters. Another of their givebacks, the seed initiative, helps to feed those less fortunate worldwide and empower communities in need by giving them the means to grow their own fresh food and produce.

Lightweight, compact and big enough for two, this hammock can, quite literally, elevate your outdoor experience as either a nap-time nest or a night time star-gazing nook.

Did we say ‘praiseworthy’?! The above brands, we’re sure you’ll agree, are worthy of far more than just our praise. Until someone starts handing them Nobel prizes, let’s do our bit to support them and their good deeds by keeping their brand on our radar next time we want to make a purchase with a purpose!
