Driven by innovation and quality
Mountain Hardwear was founded in 1993 to put a stop to the declining quality of outdoor gear at the time. Jack Gilbert and his team watched as outdoor products kept getting less technical to appeal to the masses rather than serious athletes.
They set out to buck that trend and have been developing high-quality, functional outdoor clothing and equipment ever since. No compromises, just every feature athletes actually need. True to their motto "Form following function," they design products with purpose, built from top-quality materials and the latest technology.
What matters most to them is supporting athletes with a great fit, weather protection, temperature regulation and moisture management for whatever they're doing. Function and durability matter more to Mountain Hardwear than fashion, though that hasn't stopped their collections from staying creative.
Tradition meets new demands
The brand's core values have stayed the same over the years, even as the demands on good outdoor gear keep evolving. As athletes push their performance to ever more extreme levels, Mountain Hardwear has to keep growing right along with them.
Sustainability matters just as much to the brand: already 73 percent of Mountain Hardwear styles contain at least one preferred material – recycled or bluesign-approved fabrics, organic materials or down certified to the Responsible Down Standard and OEKO-TEX Standard 100. Beyond high-quality apparel and sleeping bags, Mountain Hardwear is also known for quality tents and backpacks.
