THE RESULTS ARE IN! Our New Years' resolution for our brand was to begin donating a percentage of our profits to a nonprofit organization. We narrowed it down to our top 4 and then ran an online poll asking you guys to vote for the organization you felt most passionate about. After a couple of months of voting, the results are in and in 2021 we will be donating a portion of our profits to Hike it Baby!

2020 forced us to ask ourselves the hard questions: Are we doing enough for our community? How are we contributing to the world? What do we stand for? How can we do more?
From the beginning, our mission has been to create comfortable and stylish products that pay homage and connect us to the place that taught and inspired our love for the great outdoors. In 2021 we’re inspired to do more
As an outdoor brand, we believe it's our responsibility to promote, protect, and give back to the places that make our lifestyles possible and we're so excited for this new opportunity to make an impact.
Thank you to all those who voted! We can't wait to embark on this new journey together.
