Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) is a low, mat-forming evergreen shrub that carpets rocky slopes and shorelines with glossy green leaves, delicate pink urn-shaped flowers in spring, and bright red berries later in the season. Native to northern regions of North America, Europe, and Asia, it’s a hardy groundcover that feeds bears, birds, and other wildlife while holding fragile soils in place—quietly stitching together entire northern ecosystems close to the ground.
Printed on a Gildan 18500 hooded sweatshirt made with a cozy cotton-polyester blend, this garment offers warmth, durability, and ethical production using sustainably grown US cotton. With a classic fit, ribbed cuffs, and a soft fleece lining, it’s designed for comfort in any season.
