WNDR Alpine launches new biobased outdoor gear 

In Utah, WNDR Alpine, creator of innovative outdoor equipment and apparel with materials enabled by microalgae oil, is refining and expanding its hardgoods and softgoods.

From the brand’s palette of AlgalTech materials derived from microalgae oil, WNDR produces a variety of skis, snowboards and splitboards for winter sports applications. The brand’s all season Phase Series technical apparel is constructed from a combination of biobased and recycled fabrics and equipped with miDori bioWick – a 100% petroleum free wicking technology derived from microalgae oil and developed in partnership with Beyond Surface Technologies.

“WNDR Alpine is evolving into a genuine all-season brand, expanding beyond skis and boards to include a full spectrum of gear designed for diverse, year-round adventures. This expansion goes beyond broadening our product range; it represents a bold step towards embracing new-to-the-world microalgae-derived materials and, only 5 years in, we are just getting started. ‘Biology Inside’ presents a pathway to meeting high performance standards while incorporating biobased inputs. This pursuit is a critical step in reducing our reliance on non-renewable sources of oil and becoming a hub for biobased expertise amongst a broader community of brands seeking innovative material solutions,” said Matt Sterbenz, General Manager and Founder, WNDR Alpine.

The firm noted that all hardgoods now include newly refined recycled materials and cleaner construction.
