Patagonia's Eco-Friendly Wetsuits

Filed under: Sports

Surfing's famous Malloy brothers have been working with outdoor gear company Patagonia to create a new more eco-friendly wetsuit. The wetsuit is made of Japanese neoprene lined with merino wool blended with recycled polyester to keep you warm when the water is cold and wick moisture away from the skin. The suit uses recycled polyester, chlorine-free wool, PVC-free kneepads and thinner neoprene layers to reduce the impact on the environment. Suits start around $350 while tops start around $110.

The World's Most Expensive Fishing Trip

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Journeys

Love fishing? Book yourself a spot on the luxury ship Atmosphere for a fly fishing trip along the Chilean wilderness coast. Priced at $15,000 - $25,000, it's the most expensive fishing trip in the world and has plenty of fun luxuries to make that price tag worthwhile. Covering Patagonia by air, land, and water, several different kinds of boats and even a helicopter equipped with all the toys will whisk you away to remote rivers and lakes for dream fishing excursions -- or if you're not in the mood for that you can stay on the ship for awesome food, a massage, and maybe a whale watching excursion instead.
