We build gear so people can get outside with confidence. Whether it's a quick trail run after work or a week in the mountains with friends, our job is to make sure our gear does the job so you can focus on the experience.
That responsibility goes beyond performance. The places we design for are changing and that means we have to change too. Over the last several years, we've taken a hard look at how our products are made, from materials to manufacturing, and made meaningful updates without compromising what makes our gear dependable.
We're committed to building technical gear responsibly, improving our processes over time, and supporting a growing outdoor community that gets outside together โ friends, families, and partners pushing through real conditions.
The Foray 3L and Aspire 3L earned their place over years of wet trail days, shoulder-season trips, bike commutes, and everything in between. Built and tested in the Pacific Northwest, they were shaped by steady rain and long stretches outside, conditions where weather protection isn't a nice-to-have, it's a baseline. Over time, they became the shells people reached for without thinking twice, trusted across climates, seasons, and years of hard use.
When we updated them in early 2025, we weren't chasing something new. We were refining something proven. That meant rebuilding with a 100% recycled nylon face fabric and our AscentShellโข Dry membrane โ same breathable, waterproof protection, better materials. We also removed non-intentionally added PFAS and finished the jackets with Nikwax Direct.Dry DWR, moving weather protection away from harmful chemistries without sacrificing performance.
With more responsible materials comes a little more responsibility in care. Regular washing restores water resistance and extends the life of your shell. Taking care of your gear is now part of how high-performance rain protection works and part of how we reduce impact over time, together.
Good materials shouldn't go to waste. In apparel manufacturing, excess fabric and insulation are often unavoidable parts of the process โ byproducts of cutting patterns, building collections, and meeting production minimums. Instead of discarding them, we look for ways to put those resources back into circulation, designing products that make better use of what already exists.
Two examples of this are the Swift Surplus Hat and the Ecoloft Blanket. The Swift Surplus Hat uses leftover materials from the broader Swift collection, giving performance fabrics another life while maintaining the functionality the line is known for. The Ecoloft Blanket takes a similar approach, using excess materials from our Transcendent down collection to create a versatile piece built for camp, travel, or everyday use.
These projects are small but meaningful steps toward reducing waste and keeping quality materials in use longer. By designing with excess materials in mind, we can extend their life, limit unnecessary waste, and move closer to a more thoughtful, circular approach to making gear.
OR partners with 16 nonprofit organizations across North America organized around four core pillars: education, opportunity, access, and conservation. From environmental stewardship and habitat restoration to expanding pathways for people who have historically faced barriers to getting outside, our partners are doing hands-on work where it matters most. We support them through financial contributions, gear donations, and direct volunteer involvement.
One partnership that brings all of that together is our work with Refugee Artisan Initiative. Through three annual in-store mending events, RAI artisans repair well-worn gear with patches, hems, and skilled craftsmanship keeping products in use and out of landfills, while building sustainable livelihoods for refugee and immigrant women in our community. These events don't just reduce waste. They spotlight resilience, craft, and the kind of care that makes gear last a lifetime.
Together, we're fostering a culture that looks after our products, our planet, and the people behind the work because the outdoors should be healthy, welcoming, and available for everyone, now and for future generations.
Partnering with bluesignยฎ ensures we are better corporate citizens by taking ownership of our supply chain inputs and reducing the impact of the gear we sell. Materials that are bluesignยฎ-approved have gone the extra step to provide the greatest assurance of chemical safety for the consumer, the worker, and the environment in which the product and materials are created. Further, by working with bluesignยฎ, our supply chain partners who make these materials optimize their resource efficiencyโspecifically water, energy, and chemical inputsโwhich minimizes the impact on the planet.
Using recycled materials displaces the use of new (virgin) raw materials, which helps reduce the environmental impacts of our material selection. We began using recycled materials before we had a process to track and benchmark our transition from virgin materials. However, in 2022 we started intentionally tracking materials by yardage. Rather than monitoring environmental attributes on a finished-good level, we have elected to track by yardage as this method reveals where the most significant volume and opportunities are. We are continually improving our process to track this metric more efficiently, and we will soon be able to see year-over-year percentages to measure our shift toward using more recycled materials across our product line.
This report highlights our 2025 data, but it reflects three years of learning to see our impact more clearly. We've sharpened how we measure what matters โ expanding visibility across our supply chain, tracking materials more completely, and building a clearer line between our actions and their outcomes.
Progress isn't just about doing better. It's about knowing better. And with that knowledge, we're moving forward with intention.
