Why I chose TPOP

I chose TPOP because they genuinely care about the planet. They only make products when someone orders them — much like planning a small-boat adventure, there’s no unnecessary excess. Their eco-friendly materials and plastic-free packaging also line up really nicely with the spirit of NanoCruising: simple, thoughtful, low-impact.

Short version: I use TPOP because they help me offer shirts that match the NanoCruising ethos — simple, responsible, and made with care.
