Staying true to our core values of creating outstanding products during thirty-plus years in business has helped us create a company we’re proud to run and work for.
Our values reflect those of a business started by a band of adventure seekers, and the minimalist style they promoted. The approach we take towards product design demonstrates a bias for simplicity and utility. For us, a love of wild and beautiful places demands participation.
We grew out of a small company that made tools for climbers. Alpinism remains at the heart of a worldwide business that still makes clothes for climbing – as well as for skiing, snowboarding, surfing, fly fishing, paddling and trail running.
