ORRA - weareorra.com :: TRAVEL PRODUCT FEATURE

At ORRA, we believe the world should be experienced and enjoyed, but we also know that we must collectively change our habits to preserve it and foster meaningful connection with our fellow earthlings.That was the stark realization ORRA founder Ryan Thompson made while flying over the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the world’s largest accumulation of ocean plastic, located between California and Hawaii.Having lived out of a bag, quite literally for decades — as a combat veteran turned airline pilot, experiencing firsthand the best and worst of travel gear — he turned his pain into push with an innovative response in the fight against environmental decline that also helps people travel in a smarter way. The idea for ORRA was born and the journey began.__________ORRA products simultaneously enhance the journey while allowing users to carry a clean conscience.After years of hard work and creative thinking, real traction was made in design, engineering, and across the ORRA community. Sustainable materials were validated, responsible manufacturers were identified, and carefully considered features were sourced and tested among professional travelers, lifestyle experts and environmentalists to ensure more desirable, high-performance gear with absolutely no greenwashing.By engaging with travelers directly we created so much more than a product — a tribe of world citizens united by consciousness and respect for Earth and its inhabitants.Today, the ocean-centric eco-travel gear company is one of the few brands in the industry that has adopted ethical sourcing and manufacturing as a core part of its DNA. Our team of skillful, impact-driven leaders bring rich world travel experiences with extensive knowledge of soft¬ goods manufacturing and sustainable materials for leading function, form, and purpose.WWW.WEAREORRA.COM
