Maya Sharma, Climber and Wilderness Guide
Hometown: Boulder, Colorado

Discipline: Traditional Climbing and Mountaineering

Favorite Piece of Gear: Our Element Defender Shell Jacket—"It handles everything from a sudden alpine snow squall to a windy belay ledge."

Philosophy: "The reward isn't reaching the summit; it's the quiet confidence you build on the way up."

Q&A with Maya
Q: What first drew you to traditional climbing? A: The total immersion. You have to be completely present—reading the rock, placing the protection, managing the rope. It's a moving meditation where the stakes are a little higher. It strips away everything but the immediate moment.

Q: What role does sustainability play in your adventures? A: Everything. When you spend weeks in the wilderness, you see firsthand how fragile it is. My commitment to Leave No Trace is absolute. I also choose gear from companies, like [Your Brand Name], that prioritize repair over replacement. I've repaired my favorite climbing pants three times!

Q: Best advice for someone new to the sport? A: Start small and find a mentor. The technical learning curve can be steep, but the most important lesson is to trust your gear and your body. And always carry an extra pair of wool socks. Always.

Meet Amelia!

As a Store Manager here in Vancouver, I spend my downtime exploring the Coast Mountains, rain or shine. There’s nothing like the silence of a foggy morning on a hike. My job at Six Tides Gear is to ensure our gear can handle any Pacific Northwest weather you throw at it. I’ve personally tested almost every waterproof jacket we carry, and I love helping our customers gear up for their next epic BC adventure, whether they’re tackling the West Coast Trail or just need durable urban apparel. Come talk to me about layering systems!

The landfill is not the end of a product's lifecycle—it is a system failure. At Six Tides Gear, our commitment to durability must extend beyond the life of the garment we create. We believe every fiber holds residual value, irrespective of its original manufacturer.

Introducing the Textile Reclamation Program: Texisle OP. A definitive solution for your garment's end of life.

The Mandate: Zero Textile Landfill Waste.
We accept all textiles, from any brand, in any condition. Your unwanted materials—the worn-out base layers, the hole-ridden socks, the frayed towels, and the competitor's jacket that has finally failed—all represent resources that deserve a second assignment.

What to Drop Off (Any Textile, Any Condition):
Apparel: Any shirt, pant, jacket, underwear, or footwear (from Six Tides Gear or other brands).

Linens: Sheets, towels, rags, and curtains.

Scraps: Fabric offcuts, sewing project remnants.

The System: Engineered for Recirculation
Once collected at our retail locations, your textiles are not simply donated; they enter a precision-sorted system:

Re-Wear Triage: Items in good, functional condition are channeled through established partnerships for resale and community donation, extending their primary life.

Fiber Reclamation (Upcycling/Downcycling): Textiles that are damaged or worn beyond repair are graded by fiber content. They are then processed for fiber-to-fiber recycling (to create new textile inputs) or downcycling (to create durable industrial materials like insulation and padding).

Traceability: We partner with certified recyclers to ensure a clear, traceable path for every kilogram of material, preventing unregulated export and landfill diversion.

This program is a crucial extension of our belief in minimal impact. By participating, you are directly reducing the demand for virgin resources, conserving water and energy, and actively closing the material loop.

Bring your retired textiles to any Six Tides Gear store and partner with us in the necessary transition to a circular economy.
