Join our adventure and be part of the LIVE MORE NOW spirit.
It all began 30 years ago, in 1992, with one man determined to find a way to stay outdoors for as long as he could, Joan Rojas invented the seamless neckwear. Today his legacy lives on, as it’s embedded in our purpose of inspiring a more conscious world through the thrill of adventure.
That initial spirit of invention and passion for nature are still at the very heart of our company. It’s in our values, in our commitment to people and our planet, the teams we build and the community we create.
