OUR LEGACY
GUIDES
OUR FUTURE.
In 1974, our first stitches were placed and a legacy of meticulous craftsmanship was initiated.
A half-century later, and we’re just as passionate about inspiring your next summit scramble, snow-capped thrill, singletrack lap and sunrise run as we’ve always been.
As we reflect on this milestone, we extend our heartfelt thanks to a community that has made our journey from untrodden trails to well-worn paths extraordinary. Here’s to the boundless opportunities, countless adventures and endless lessons we all have before us.
Here’s to the next 50 years.

Unceasing Innovation
A half-century later and we’re innovating carry technology, creating meaningful experiences and inspiring adventure with more energy than ever before.
EARTH PROGRAM
Our Earth Program embraces the inspiration to promote more renewable materials and sustainable processes as we continue to innovate. Earth Program packs help us push that envelope, so we can implement our discoveries, support the market for more sustainable materials and—ultimately—decrease our impact on the environment.
