Since then, we’ve grown a lot, and we now work in great factories all over the world. Now, a time-trusted industry leader in paddlesports producing the highest quality technical outerwear and gear for paddlers, by paddlers. We’ve never forgotten where we came from, nor have we lost our passion for making great gear on our own. We continue to produce small batches of experimental gear, completely in-house in Hood River, Oregon.
