MODL Outdoors

Sustainability Story

We all know the feeling of freedom that comes with being in the great outdoors. The stress of the everyday world feels a little smaller when you're surrounded by breathtaking natural views, and we created MODL because we love exploring these spaces. Protecting the natural world is at the forefront of everything we do, and MODL is sustainable by design. MODL replaces lots of other gear (hydration packs, water filters, camping showers, etc) and reduces waste in the process. We're a member of 1% for the Planet, are Climate Neutral Certified and are part of the Colorado Outdoor Business Alliance. We have a long way to go to become truly sustainable, but we're working everyday to get closer to that goal.
