ALPENDMADE was founded by avid adventurists seeking out the gear that they couldn't find anywhere else. The company was inspired by the remote places of the world they were striving to reach. Their clothing and gear was born out of these expeditions - they took rigorous notes of things they were missing on their trips, and things they'd dreamt up along the trek.The ALPENMADE design direction is taken directly from this idea or resourcefulness and constant exploration.
