Blueprint
VYRN creates sharp, long-lasting essentials for people who love being outside and refuse to compromise on style or sustainability.
From surfing and skating to disc golf, hiking, paddle boarding, kayaking, and slow days by the ocean, VYRN is made for anyone who feels most at home in the open air.
The clothing industry is built on excess. Clothes are overproduced, underused, and sent to landfills long before they should wear out. I wanted something different: pieces I was proud to wear, that felt good, looked clean, and respected the places where I spend my time outside.
VYRN grew out of that gap, built to order rather than mass produced, with every piece grounded in thoughtful design and sustainability.
— Philip, FounderWe hold our curation to specific rules.
Recycled plastic going into a recycled bag. Both of these had a first life.
A standard is only worth something if somebody has to meet it. These are the people who make what we sell, where they are, and what their materials actually are.
Independently audited, not self-reported.
Mineral sunscreen made with non-nano zinc oxide, no oxybenzone and no parabens, in a tube that is 80% post-consumer recycled plastic. They grow their own organic herbs on a farm near the shop. The most independently verified company we carry.
Every disc and mini they make is 100% recycled plastic, pulled from medical, automotive and agricultural waste streams as well as from used discs sent back by players. Discs still good to throw get donated to schools and youth programs instead of ground up. Your trade-in discs go to them. We have been to the facility and watched it run.
Most of these run a recycled line made from their own scrap and failed discs. Latitude 64 Eco and Discmania Bio Lumen are the exceptions: bio-based instead of recycled.
Recycled ESP is molded from discs with cosmetic flaws caught in hand inspection, saved over decades rather than scrapped. Same grip, same durability, different story. The stamp says 100% recycled because it is.
K1 Grind is 100% recycled K1, made from production scrap and discs that did not pass quality control. It always runs in a two-tone swirl, so no two are the same.
BioGold is off-spec Opto and Gold plastic melted down and recombined. Their Eco line is a different thing worth keeping straight: bio-based, made largely from renewable raw materials rather than recycled ones.
BioFuzion is regrind: Lucid and Fuzion discs that did not meet spec, remelted into new ones.
Bio Lumen is a bio-based blend that ran on only a handful of molds. A short run, so when these are gone they are gone.
Worth knowing: Latitude 64, Dynamic Discs, Kastaplast and Discmania all sit under House of Discs, and a lot of this plastic comes out of one plant in northern Sweden. Four labels, one supply chain. We would rather tell you that than let four logos look like four independent wins.
Small shops turning waste into gear, mostly by hand, mostly in the United States.
Built from ECOPAK, a laminate woven from 100% recycled polyester, with recycled ballistic nylon at every stress point and recycled YKK zippers. No plastic frame holding the shape. A bag you keep for a decade is a bag nobody has to build again.
Bike inner tubes, wetsuits, climbing rope and billboard vinyl collected through bike shops and outdoor retailers, then cut and sewn in their own Boulder warehouse.
Bicycle inner tubes reclaimed from riders and bike shops, plus upcycled advertising banners and waxed canvas. Same roof as Green Guru now, so we count their diverted pounds once rather than twice.
Sunglass frames cut from broken and discarded skateboard decks, handcrafted in Idaho. Any virgin wood in the mix comes from FSC certified suppliers.
Spray-on board traction made from recycled crushed glass in a water-based carrier, mixed and packed in their own warehouse. No sheet of grip tape, no adhesive backing, no offcuts.
Bags cut from authentic used military tent canvas and repurposed camouflage. Real used tents, not new canvas sold as reclaimed. Every piece carries different wear, so no two match.
Made by the same family-run mills they have used since the 1970s. The yarn is premium t-shirt cutting waste, sorted by color, cut into strips, spun into thread and woven back into blankets.
Built on vegetable-based raw materials rather than a straight petroleum formula, with natural and synthetic wax compounds, in packaging that is recycled and biodegradable.
