Pura Naturals’ Active sponges: Hygienically sound backcountry skiing gear

When it comes to chasing pow, dialing in new tricks and generally getting after it in the mountains, certain necessities can fall by the wayside, hygiene included. Usually the biggest concern—in terms of cleanliness—comes in the form of dirty, stinky, crusty ski socks. However, whether your hiking the park all day, on a long skin or shacking it up with your backcountry skiing gear for a week, it’s inevitable that you’re entire body will end up dirty and grimy. Luckily, California’s Pura Naturals has introduced a line of multi-use cleansing sponges to bring a bit of modern convenience to your experience.

I was able to try the Pura Naturals’ Active collection on a recent camping trip in Colorado’s Sangre De Cristo Wilderness and was impressed. After hiking around each day, it was pleasant to be able to wash off some of the dirt from the day’s excursion down by the stream—and the Peppermint Volcano scent was certainly refreshing. Each soap infused sponge is made from a plant-based foam material specializing in extracting dirt, oil and grime. What’s even better is that the material repels water, so the sponge dries quickly without building up any mold or bacteria—providing multiple uses before having to dispose of them and come in highly packable 3-packs ($8.99) for easy storage when trekking out into the wilderness.

The sponges are also environmentally friendly, thanks to Level Naturals’ vegan and gluten-free soap that cleans without the aid of synthetic micro-beads, which are harmful when deposited into lakes and streams.

Next time your headed for an adventure outside, check out these sponges from Pura Naturals to bring a touch of home into the mountains. Pura Naturals can also be purchased on Amazon.
