Now that we are stateside, it was good to catch up with Seth WilliamsBuddy Pendergast, Hub HubbardMackenzie Warner & Gilberto at Patagonia's Wetsuit Forge (tribute to Yvon Chouinard’s blacksmith days and Patagonia origins).
I was keen on learning first-hand how years of learnings from wetsuit repair (and not just theirs) influenced the new Patagonia Regulator wetsuit design that is getting awesome reviews. And no, the Yulex foam is unchanged from other Patagonia wetsuits, so it's not the natural rubber foam.
I am a big fan of repairing garments to extend their life. So watching Gilberto and Dulce, expert’s at their craft, easily cut out damaged panels on a wetsuit and replace it with an upgraded panel with ease was cool. I'm also a big fan of modular designs like removable panels that increase accessibility, making repairs easier, thereby reducing downtime for the consumer/surfer, and extending life of the garment.
Still, no one wants to replace the lower back seat panel which is large (relatively - no body shaming there) and makes for a more expensive repair.
Hence, the Wetsuit Forge made prototypes and tested (surf) different panels for comfort and durability.
To improve stretch, they switched out recycled polyester for recycled nylon (again same Yulex foam).
To improve thermal regulation in these cold waters (just me?), they changed the structural integrity from flatlock to GBS seams in the chest panel and an improved zipper.
And based on the reviews, all these iterative changes have been applauded.
So, stay curious folks… always things to learn and improve on.

Summer can be just as risky as winter for slips and falls 🚫
-
🏔️ Colorado’s diverse landscape, from hiking trails to city parks, can pose unique challenges.
🚫 Uneven sidewalks, rocky paths, and grassy areas can quickly become safety hazards for seniors. To prevent falls:
-
Stick to Well-Maintained Paths 🧹
Whenever possible, choose trails and walking paths that are well-maintained and regularly used. These paths are typically free of large obstacles and are more predictable.
-
Use Hiking Poles or Walking Sticks 🩼
These tools provide extra stability and can help navigate uneven ground more safely.
💡Ensure that the poles are adjustable and have comfortable grips.
-
Avoid Steep or Rocky Areas 🪨
For those with mobility issues, it’s best to avoid steep or overly rocky terrain that could increase the risk of falling.
-
Ensure Safe Home Environments 🏠
Even at home, the risk of falls remains. Here are some tips to keep home environments safe:
-
Keep Areas Well-Lit and Clean 🔦
Ensure all pathways, decks, and patios are free of clutter and well-illuminated.
Proper lighting helps in spotting potential hazards before they become problematic.
-
Wear Comfortable, Well-Fitting, Non-Slip Footwear 🥾
Invest in shoes that offer good support and have non-slip soles. 💡This will provide better grip and stability on various surfaces, reducing the risk of slipping.
-
Regularly Check Assistive Devices ✅
Ensure that walking aids, such as canes or walkers, are in good condition.
💡Regular maintenance of these devices can prevent unexpected failures.
-
Remember 💡 a few simple steps can make a big difference in maintaining health and safety during the warmer months.
Always be mindful of your surroundings to ensure a fun and injury-free summer 🌻

Feeling overwhelmed by sustainable fashion jargon? Don't sweat it! Blanc is here to clear the air.
Myth: All recycled clothing is a win for the planet. ♻️
Not quite! The quality of recycled materials makes a big difference. Choose brands that prioritize responsible recycling methods and offer transparency in their supply chains.
Myth: Sustainable fashion automatically means breaking the bank. ❌
While some sustainable brands may have a premium price point due to ethical production practices and high-quality materials, there are plenty of affordable options! Look for brands committed to responsible sourcing and transparent pricing. Additionally, consider the long-term value – well-made, sustainable garments often last longer, saving you money in the long run.
Myth: Pre-loved clothing doesn't count as sustainable fashion. 💔
Think again! Giving clothes a second life by shopping secondhand is a fantastic way to reduce waste and embrace unique styles. Plus, it's often budget-friendly! Look for reputable thrift stores or online platforms dedicated to sustainable fashion.
Here at Blanc, sustainable fashion isn't just a trend – it's our core value. We believe in creating beautiful, high-quality garments that are kind to the planet. Explore our practices and discover eco-conscious styles you can feel good about wearing inside and out! https://blanc.earth/

Creating a balance between 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞r and staying comfortable during rain showers can be a fun challenge. Here are some ideas for smart comfort during a summer weekend that might include rain:
𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠
𝐋𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: Wear light, breathable fabrics that dry quickly. A light rain jacket or a stylish poncho can be handy.
𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐚r: Waterproof sandals or shoes with good grip can keep your feet dry and comfortable.
𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬: A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for sun protection, and a compact, travel-sized umbrella for sudden rain showers.
Activities
𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐧: Plan activities that can easily transition between sunny and rainy weather, such as picnics with covered areas nearby or hikes on trails that aren’t too muddy.
𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Have a list of indoor activities ready, like visiting a museum, going to a movie, or checking out a local café or bookstore.
𝐆𝐞𝐚𝐫
𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬: Pack a lightweight, waterproof backpack with sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, snacks, and a dry bag for electronics.
𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫: Consider a pop-up tent or a large umbrella for instant shelter.
𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 & 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲
𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Stay hydrated, especially in the heat, and take breaks in the shade.
𝐁𝐮𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Use insect repellent to protect against #mosquitoes, which can be more prevalent after rain.
