It’s a place where real, lived experiences in the mountains come together wisely in the form of world-class product design. With a little grit and lot of fun, like-minded, free-thinking people band together, seeking our own path to building better outdoor gear. And the folks here tend to stick around. 

Since 1993, our focus has always been on the mountain, not the masses. We continue to follow our ‘Everything is Equipment’ product North Star, designing first and foremost for pursuits that get your heart pumping so loud you can hear it—the kind you only have when you head out into wilder places. Those times when you feel really, truly alive.

We make gear that works because, out here, it matters.

We do it for ourselves, our own adventures, and the ones we dream of having. We do it for the wilder path we hope you choose. From employee product testing trips to feedback sessions with athletes, mountain guides, and our in-house team of sewers, we are constantly foraging information from first-hand sources to create something that lasts.

Together, we meticulously study every stitch. We sweat every seam, fuss over fibers, and split hairs over hues and the how-it-looks. And then, we head out, and we play. Hard.
