Who We Are

The best

Simply put, we're the people you want making your most technically advanced gear. We have second-generation leadership and employ departments dedicated to industrial engineering and research. That’s why the world’s foremost outdoor brands come to us to produce their gear.

Who We Are

Our Values

You can count on us

People are right at the heart of our business. We’re always thinking about the needs of our clients, the welfare of our employees, and of course the satisfaction of the buyers who take the gear we made with them on their next adventure.

Our Mission

Building relationships, delivering results

We aim to earn your trust and confidence with our commitment to excellence every step of the way – from seams that stay sealed, to top-notch customer service.

Quality comes first

We will give your orders unrivaled attention to detail. You sell the toughest gear for the wildest conditions; we make sure it will stand up to whatever Mother Nature throws at it.

Providing excellent value

Whether it’s a way to reduce fabric waste or a new process designed by our in-house machinists, we’re always coming up with new ways to manufacture more efficiently – and never at the expense of quality.

Taking care of people

You can’t make great jackets without great people. We’re proud to be Fair Trade Certified™, a testament to our excellent Health and Safety record and our forward-thinking work environment.

Taking care of the planet

Outdoor enthusiasts care about the environment, and our whole industry depends on a healthy planet. With this in mind, we’ve reduced our energy consumption and improved our factory wastewater treatment. In 2022 we installed
40,000 square feet of solar panels.

Our Clients

We work with the best

We have built lasting partnerships with the world’s leading outdoor brands, thanks to our outstanding quality and exceptional customer service. We are especially proud of being a leader in waterproof seam-sealing technology. However, our production capabilities cover the entire outdoor industry, from fishing waders to mountaineering jackets – and everything in between.
