Equipment for the long way up.
We build packs, shelters and shells for alpine climbing and fast touring. Every piece is prototyped in Boulder and tested above 4,000 metres by the people who designed it.
Three systems, nothing else
We make 12 products. Not 120. Each one is revised rather than replaced, and every generation stays repairable.
Alpine packs
22 to 45 litres, in VX21 and 210D ripstop. Frames that can be replaced without cutting a stitch.
Shelters
Two- and three-person alpine tents in silnylon, with a pole set you can repair with a field kit.
Shells & layers
Three-layer hardshells and active insulation cut for reach, not for the shop floor.
Tested until it fails. Then rebuilt.
Every product spends at least two seasons with our guide team before it reaches a customer. If something fails in the field, it goes back to the prototype room — not to a marketing deck.
“If it doesn’t survive a season in the Bugaboos, it doesn’t ship.”Marta Reyes · Design director
