We needed a shoe that worked everywhere from scree fields to long trail miles to summit scrambles. So we put in the hours, adventuring uphill and down—and the Ridgecap Collection is the innovative result of our time on the trail. This fast-and-light shoe provides all-terrain function, maximum comfort and superior performance. Durable Vibram® Megagrip rubber offers unparalleled grip on dry or wet terrain, with engineered lugs for cruising the uphill and braking on the downhill. The extra-grip smudge zone and sturdy rock plate under the ball of the foot increase stability and protect feet on rocky or uneven ground. An extra-cushioned EVA midsole and padding on the Achilles heel lessen the impact of downhill steps and long hours on your feet. The quick lacing system creates a secure and comfortable fit.
As caretakers of the mountain life, we recognize our responsibility to support organizations and people who share our vision to drive positive change for people and the planet. We’re proud to partner with some tremendous organizations in their missions to responsibly advance outdoor recreation and protect our wild surroundings.
We are committed to building garments that are durable, timeless and continue to perform season after season. After years of research, testing and product development, in 2024 we completely removed PFAS from all of our newly developed products. We remain committed to growing our Preferred Materials usage, which includes organic cotton, recycled materials and responsibly-sourced down and wool, to 75% by the end of 2025.
Our apparel is built to last. As a part of our efforts to reduce waste and keep more gear in the mountains where it belongs, our home-grown gear renewal program allows previously-used items to be traded in, cleaned, repaired and circulated back into use.
