ABOUT ARC'TERYX.
Founded in 1989 by Dave Lane, Arc’teryx is a high-end outdoor clothing and gear company that focuses on technical products for mountaineering. The inspiration for their brand derives from The Coast Mountains and is where their gear is tested by their designers, athletes, and industry professionals. The company’s name references the Archaeopteryx, a transitional fossil, to reflect their vision of constructing disruptive “evolutionary” innovation within the outdoor apparel and equipment industry. Arc’teryx works to reduce its environmental impact through responsible sourcing, manufacturing, and extreme durability. They aim to progress to a circular economy so that their material and products are not disposed of but rather re-used in a repeated loop for zero waste.
WHY ARC'TERYX?
For all the diverse conditions and demands of outdoor activities, Arc’teryx designs its equipment with performance and durability at the forefront. Each of their products is mindfully designed with specific materials and features to optimize comfort, support, and protection when you are on the move. As an innovative-driven brand, Arc’teryx continuously works to refine and improve its products. At SEED, we have become an enthusiast of Arc’teryx, as their equipment is dependable, uncompromisable, and mindfully made pieces that can stand the test of time.

Danner provides a wide array of footwear to confidently guide us through different terrains and lifestyle needs.
ABOUT GRAMICCI.
Since 1982, Gramicci has crafted functional apparel for the outdoors with comfort and movement in mind. As a Stonemaster, founder, Mike Graham, wanted to design flexible rock climbing gear that was required for the new speed and style of the climbing generation of the 1970s. Thus, born out of a garage in the small beach town of Ventura, California was the first Gramicci piece that soon transformed to the popular G-Pants that widely became known for its flexibility and durability. Gramicci’s innovative designs then grew to the likings of rock climbers, to surfers, and skaters, all the way to the streets of Tokyo, and even throughout time by cultural movements. As a brand that focuses on creating long-lasting clothing and uses eco-friendly materials, Gramicci practices sustainable alternatives such as Global Recycle Standard materials and has begun replacing all their PERFORMANCE LINE materials with responsibly sourced ones.
WHY GRAMICCI?
To complement the free spirits of the Stonemasters, Mike Graham wanted to provide them with freedom of movement. To this day, Gramicci follows this ethos for its design and construction in its lifestyle and technical products. Whether you are a rock climber, hiker, or just a gorp-core enthusiast, Gramicci provides versatile products that are functional and fashionable such as their popular G-Short, Gramicci Pant, tees, and so much more. The brand embraces the great outdoors, from the thick forests and alpine lakes to your backyard.
