This startup plants 10 trees for every item it sells - here's what its clothing is like in real life, beyond the Instagram hype

When it comes to hoodies and sweatshirts, I tend to buy ones with a relaxed fit. The Yampa Pullover Crew, made from a blend of hemp and cotton, was more fitted than I usually prefer, but it didn't feel tight or constraining. I immediately noticed the quality of the top and loved that it wasn't bulky — I layered it under a light jacket.

In addition to the overall feel, I was super appreciative of the kangaroo pocket in the front. I kept my phone in there when I was on the subway and felt that it was pretty secure despite the wide pockets on the side. Though I will always normally choose 100% cotton over a blend, I was thrilled to wear this one knowing that the company prioritizes sustainability efforts while producing a high-quality clothes. — Megan Foster, Insider Picks intern

I've been a fan of TenTree's ethos for a few years now, but this was my first experience with the gear itself — and it impressed me. Even without the sustainable processes, I'd still find myself throwing this cozy sweatshirt on every night when I get home from work.

The 60% organic cotton and 40% recycled polyester mix feels soft and immediately owned-it-for-years broken-in. I love this thing. The only thing I'd note is that it may run slightly larger than average, though my usual size (small) is slightly slouchy and perfect for me.— Mara Leighton, Insider Picks reporter
