About Us

USER TRUST

You trust your life and well-being to your equipment. You trust a brand to fulfill that need. What’s more, you trust a brand with your culture, your lifestyle, and as your partner in stewardship of wild places. We exist because of this partnership of trust, and we take that partnership seriously.

OUR COMMITMENTS

THE FUSION OF SOUL AND TECH

  • SOULMountain sports have a soul. We build our lives around these sports, we live it. That connection we feel lives in the equipment we create. Our equipment tells stories, we tell stories. Great product design has soul.
  • TECHWe create equipment for the most technical, demanding users in the harshest environments. We endeavor to meet that need with innovation, rigorous engineering, and performance.

EXTENSIVE LAB AND FIELD TESTING

For as long as we have made gear, we have been committed to testing, breaking and improving that very same gear. Our team of users, product designers and engineers are dedicated to extensive testing, both in the field and in the lab. When we break new ground, we like to share our QC lab findings with our customers and the larger outdoor community.
