The ClimeCo Certified Product Program measures and offsets any remaining carbon footprint, verifying its low-impact profile. The blanket comes fully hemmed and offers ample space for branding. It’s comfortable, durable and carbon-accounted. SanMar / PPAI 110788, Platinum / sanmar.com Extreme weather protection and lowerimpact design go hand in hand with the Stormtech Vertex Stormshell. Made of 45% recycled polyester with mechanical stretch for range of motion, this three-layer waterproof jacket has fully sealed seams, underarm zips for ventilation and a helmet-compatible hood with a welded brim. With a water-resistant zipper, adjustable cuffs and an extended back hem, it’s made to handle the elements. “It’s a strong recommendation for clients looking to offer high-performance gear with reduced environmental impact,” says Hoskins.

The powerbank includes a 5,000mAh battery with wireless charging for phones and a built-in Apple Watch charger that swivels out from the back.
