Adventure & Travel

From simple wool socks to our famous cold-busting parkas, Woolrich products have embraced the authentic outdoor lifestyle since 1830. We strive to design functional, comfortable and durable sportswear and outerwear for Men and Women using traditional fabrics like wool, cotton and down. In recent years, in an effort to provide superior comfort and protection in all conditions, we’ve incorporated more technical performance fibers, like nylon and polyester. As the oldest continuously operating woolen mill in the United States, the Woolrich Mill provided wool blankets to Civil War soldiers, and continues to produce some of the country’s finest wool blankets today. Over the years we have pioneered many styles that have become American Classics, a number of which are still popular today.

More than 45 years ago, two northern California mountaineers came together with a vision of un-compromised excellence. Their inspired dedication and persistence built the foundation that we stand on today and that vision is made reality. A dedicated search for the finest raw materials, meticulous design and unsurpassed workmanship have come together to provide you the highest quality sleeping bags available anywhere. Our history is more than just two young men building sleeping bags. Today we still remain a small independent company. We are responsible for and in control of ourselves and hold true to our roots. We are a “hands on” company, with an “in the house” owner. All WM products are driven by a personal commitment to excellence and they remain true, fair, honest and the best. We make all of our sleeping bags in our factory in San Jose and are here to give our customers the quality they want with Made in USA pride.

Plug-n-play camper van kits. A Wayfarer Van is a camper van created for everyday adventures.

We started United By Blue in 2010 out of a desire to preserve the place where we play. Instead of writing checks or accepting donations, we wanted to make a real, tangible impact on our oceans — and there are few things more tangible than hauling tires out of riverbeds or picking up plastic bottles along the shoreline. So we pledged to remove a pound of trash from the earth’s oceans and waterways for every product we sell through company-organized cleanups. We hosted our first cleanup the same week we sold our first T-shirt. We’ve since expanded from a handful of organic cotton tees to a full line of responsible, durable goods — apparel, bags, and accessories for people who care about the outdoors. We thoughtfully make all of our products with sustainable materials (organic cotton, recycled polyester, and bison fiber are some of our favorite things to work with). United By Blue products can be found in more than 400 outlets nationally and in our stores in Philadelphia, Asbury Park, and NYC.

For us, Tsuga is more than a brand, it’s what we believe. The Tsuga philosophy was born out of solution oriented thinking which is evident in everything we design. At Tsuga we take fulfilling our customers expectations to heart.

Topo Designs strives for contradiction. We are rooted in mountain culture and outdoor living, but love exploring cities and world travel. We look to proven classics for inspiration, yet take advantage of innovative technologies to ensure a timeless look with modern functionality. We are uncomplicated and utilitarian, but with a sense of design and style through simplicity. Our goal is to not have to choose a single path—we want to live on both sides of the fence, where life is always greener.

It was never about bags. What began as a commitment to craft and local manufacturing in 1989 became a revolution in business practices. Since then, we’ve been making bags built to last a lifetime.

Making your time outdoors more enjoyable. In 1971, a fortuitous mix of unemployed engineers, a leaky foam gardening pad, and the dream of a better way to sleep under the stars came together to change how we experience the outdoors forever. As climbers, Jim Lea, Neil Anderson and John Burroughs knew firsthand that long days in the hills were only made longer by a horrible night’s rest, and a better sleeping pad was key to changing that equation. This blend of science and a desire to make the most of every day outdoors created the world’s first self-inflating air mattress, and it continues to be the fuel that drives us today. Today, Therm-a-Rest [a brand of Cascade Designs] remains at the forefront of comfort innovation and quality, with a commitment to building what we make, with our own hands, whenever possible. Between our company-owned manufacturing facilities in Seattle, USA and Cork, Ireland, the vast majority of our sales world-wide come from products that have been built by Therm-a-Rest employees. Another one of our pillars is to use the best materials we can make or source for our finished products. Sometimes this means U.S.A., but we face major challenges since the broader market has driven entire industries from the U.S. This often leaves us without options that meet our quality standards, supply demands, or simply no domestic choices at all. The solution to maintaining our quality then can be a reliance on global sourcing for things we build in Seattle. That’s while you’ll often see “Made in the U.S.A. of U.S. and Imported Materials” on our U.S.-manufactured products, providing you transparency into the manufacturing and sourcing of our products in all situations.

Refreshingly Simple Gear for Extraordinary Needs.

To meet him was to never forget him. George “Stormy” Kromer was genuine, and that spirit reached every corner of a company he never planned to start in the first place. He simply wanted a piece of headgear that worked as hard as he did. One cap led to a thousand and then many millions, but a century later we’re still making products as authentically as the first one—from materials to methods. You can’t pretend to be a legend. It’s something you earn from your customers, your commitments, and always carrying through.

Since its founding in 1976 by Sal and Gail Glesser, Spyderco has steadily grown to become one of the leaders in the cutlery industry.

More importantly, it has allowed us to earn the trust and loyalty of countless thousands of dedicated knife users around the world—an audience to whom we are extremely grateful.

The SmartWool story starts in the heart of the Colorado Rockies where product ideas are born every time we step out our back door. At the heart of our products is the highest quality Merino yarn available, from sheep raised in some of the most amazing places on earth. Places like the beautiful ranches of New Zealand and Uruguay. But that’s only the beginning of our story. The timeless craftsmanship found in the American Southeast skillfully transforms fiber to form, ultimately making the world’s best performance socks, right here in America.

Supporting this local industry inspires a unique connection to the area and is just one element of Skida’s contribution to the community.

We are an experimental brand. We just happen to make sunglasses. A simple experiment with nature. Born from the limb of a Madrone tree, a rusty pair of cabinet hinges, and lenses from the corner store, Shwood has been a curious endeavor from the beginning. An endeavor to create a product that encompasses the individuality and uniqueness that can only be found in natural surroundings. A desire to experiment with design, materials, and aesthetics in the search for something that works. Free from passing trends, the brand’s focus remains that of its roots, innovation and creation. Long live creativity.

All journeys begin with a first step. For Red Oxx this step was taken by CEO Jim Markel’s veteran father, Jim Senior. Also a retired military Captain, his skills as a Rigger came in handy when creating lifting straps and weight belts. Crafting fitness products one at a time in his home’s basement, Jim Senior set in motion the vehicle that would one day grow into the Red Oxx the world recognizes today. Today the Red Oxx story continues with the world’s finest luggage and sporting gear, all meticulously made by hand by dedicated craftsmen and women right here in America. Building a culture of true quality and highly valuing customers to the point of not allowing any middle-man to come between them has led to our credo “Not sold at a store near you.”

Pika Products started when we saw a problem with the way we pack for camping and backpacking trips. The contents of our top loading backpacks inevitably shifted and tangled throughout the trip, causing disorganization, unnecessary bulk, and frustration. Clean things got dirty, dry things got wet. We wanted to change the way we packed to make our outdoor adventures more streamlined and successful. Pika’s packing cubes are durable (made with outdoor-specific technical fabric), compressible to save valuable space, and can easily be converted into a day-pack for the adventures you embark on after setting up camp. They keep you organized to make your camping experience better.
