Award winners on Outdoors: La Sportiva and Edelrid

"Mythos Eco is the re-edition of the famous Mythos climbing shoe of the 80s, made with eco-friendly materials to minimize the environmental impact. The versatile shoe par excellence, it is suitable for long routes and to use on long walls thanks to the exceptional comfort fit. Almost all of the components (95%) used come from recycled materials and contribute to a reduced environmental impact. The La Sportiva Eco-Rubber outsole is obtained by recycling the rubber used in the production process at La Sportiva. Performance on holds and duration are equal to a standard compound but with reduced environmental impact." Edelrid also won awards for their harness of 80 grams and a balanced crash pad made of polystyrene balls in the bottom, which works very well even on bad landing zones.
