Recycled Soda Bottle Board Shorts from Patagonia

See our story on Billabong's ECO Supreme Boardshorts made from recycled bottles

As summer is quickly approaching here is an interesting green product from Patagonia.  Board shorts made out of 100% polyester fiber recycled from soda bottles.  Patagonia's Minimalist II board shorts are available in a variety of colors for both men and women. 

As far as green/sustainable goes we like like them, they are a neat way to make use of the endless supply of plastic bottles we have in this country.   The board shorts have a DWR finish which isn't the greenest  of things - honestly the thing we like least is the price @ $55 for mens and even more for the women's.  We are getting closer to the day where we can buy products made from recycled fibers at affordable prices but we aren't there yet.

All in all a cool green product from Patagonia.
