All our gear is engineered from the highest-quality, 100% natural hemp fibers that stay breathable in heat most fabrics cannot handle. That extra airflow lets your body shed up to 5–10°F (3–6°C) more heat than in conventional gear, without clingy plasticky feel or the chemical coatings of polyester.
Over the past decade, it’s started to feel normal to pay more and get less: cheaper quality and shorter product lifespans, often disguised by glossy social media marketing.
We're designing Terlingua Threads to be the counterexample to this trend. Our pricing reflects the inputs of high quality materials & time, and is meant to honor & respect both our customers and our craftspeople.
Our gear has been tested in two different 300-mile ultramarathons in some of the hottest, highest-UV environments on the planet. The Mojave Desert and the Atacama Desert.
They exceeded anything else currently on the market.

Some of the feedback we've gotten from our early beta testers
I’ve gone on a 20-mile run on a 90-degree day in their hemp sun hoodie, and the material is extremely breathable and comfortable.
Editor of Treeline Review
Incredibly responsive to feedback. When I took it climbing and the shirt's tag kept popping up, I mentioned it and they reworked it so the tag is stitched along the side now. It’s very rare to come across a brand that makes tweaks so quickly.

This is the new brand I'm watching most closely now. So excited to see where they go.
Editor at Outdoor Gear Publication
I'm always obsessed when I find outdoor apparel that isn't plastic-based. This is the best sun shirt I've found, period. Let alone that it’s made from natural fibers.
Former Supply Chain Manager for Major Apparel Brand
I’m obsessed with its coverage and sun protection while not feeling stuffy. I want to carry this in our office for our patients.
Dermatology P.A.
I think this is the new best hiking shirt out there, and it doesn’t even look like a hiking shirt.
Appalachian Trail Thru-Hiker
I think you really have something here. You're a new brand competing with the established players, and not just keeping up but doing it better.
Outdoor Publication Editor
Patinas beautifully. It gets even more comfortable with time, and I’d pay more for mine now on the 25th wear than on the first wear.
Rock Climber
This is noticeably cooler and more breezy than anything that isn't a sundress.
