Thule

Although the history of the Thule brand doesn’t begin with the world’s best car racks, it still involves the smart practicality of Swedish design and a love of life in the outdoors. In 1942, a Swedish outdoorsman named Erik Thulin put his name on a pike trap he designed for local fisherman. The trap, a lethal-looking device with a spring-loaded steel hook, kicked off a growing business. Thulin continued to design practical products for his company and in 1955 Thule’s first car product was introduced—a metal grill for protecting headlights while driving on rugged dirt roads. By the 1960s, Thule had focused the majority of its business on automotive products. In 1962 the first ski rack was introduced and just two years later it debuted the roof rack with a basket—a design that was improved upon in ’68 with a fastener that made mounting the rack faster and easier. In 1977 Thule brought its first roof box (the Ski Box TB-11) to market. The TB-11 was endorsed by Swedish skiing superstar Ingemar Stenmark (the most winning World Cup alpine ski racer in history); fittingly, the boxes’ bright blue and yellow colors matched the suit of the Swedish ski team. Recognizing an opportunity to help a diverse range of outdoor enthusiasts transport gear, Thule introduced surfboard carry systems in 1983, the iconic Combibox 250 in ’84, and in 1992 it debuted their first hitch-mounted bike carrier. Before the decade came to a close, Thule had become the world’s largest producer of roof boxes—a long way to come for a company that got its start making traps for fisherman. Today, Thule operates under the motto “Bring Your Life,” and with its diverse range of products designed for function, safety, and style, it’s clear the company lives up to it. Beyond versatile carry-it-all roof boxes, ski racks, and smart carry systems for both road and mountain bikes, Thule has continued to expand its line with racks designed specifically for kayaks, and it supports all of its products with a full line of accessories and parts. It can even help you get up to the mountain with its selection of snow chains. In addition, Thule Chariot strollers make it easy to run, bike, or ski with youngsters in tow. Thule even has a smart configurator tool that takes the guesswork out of finding the perfect rack for the type of car you drive. Whatever your passion, you can bet on Thule having the carry system you need to bring whatever you need along for the ride.

Thule - Roof, Hitch, & Trunk racks for Bikes, Skis, & More

To many outdoor junkies, Thule is best known for vehicle-mounted racks for sporting equipment, but the Swedish brand's history started elsewhere in the outdoors—fishing traps, to be precise. It was 1942 when Erik Thulin designed the aforementioned trap and introduced it to local fishermen; as you may expect, it was the result of an unadulterated passion for spending time outside. The shift to automotive racks didn't come until two decades later, when the first ski rack was introduced in 1962, and it was followed up shortly thereafter by a roof basket. That led the way for the 1977 introduction of Thule's roof box for carrying skis, another product whose descendants remain in production to this day. The focus on versatile, user-friendly carrying solutions led Thule to develop a strong following that has only grown with time. Through a series of acquisitions, Thule has expanded into a wide range of product categories, but despite that growth, the focus on functional products that enhance the outdoor experience remains unchanged. Of course there are the iconic ski racks, and equally beloved bike racks that adorn vehicles at trail heads and resort parking lots every weekend. The luggage line has become widely popular as well, with a range of storage and transit solutions for travelers. And in an effort to ensure that the next generation is connected to the outdoors, Thule has introduced a range of products aimed at parents. It includes joggers, strollers, and car seats, all of which are intended to make getting outside with children easier and more enjoyable. Whatever your destination or your goals when you get there, odds are that Thule offers a well-executed solution to make your journey easier, and that's backed by well over half a century of devotion to the cause of getting outside.

PEARL iZUMi

Pearl Izumi has come a long way since its humble beginnings more than 50 years ago in Tokyo, Japan. From the road to the trail, Pearl Izumi cycling apparel and running gear rules to roost.

Choose from a large selection of Pearl Izumi clothing and accessories at Backcountry.com. Find the latest jerseys, jackets, socks, arm warmers, and more.

Pearl Izumi  - Cycling & Running Apparel

For over five decades, Pearl Izumi has been building cycling clothing that's driven by function, plain and simple. It's no accident, rather it's a natural reflection of a brand that was born from a father making cycling clothing for his son. That loving attention to detail is evident in every piece of clothing that bears Pearl's ubiquitous logo. And when we say ubiquitous, we mean it. If you take a look around at your next group ride, odds are that you'll find more than one piece of the Japanese brand's gear, be it a jersey, their wildly popular bib shorts, or their feature-packed cycling shoes. Don't think that Pearl's widespread appeal is a sign that this is generic stuff. On the contrary, pieces from the flagship P.R.O line are built to go toe-to-toe with the finest clothing options in the industry, and to do so at a price that reflects quality, rather than a name-brand premium. The breadth of the line is downright impressive, from the commuter-ready Elite Barrier jacket, to the revolutionary X-Project shoe series, which is designed to be comfortable for hike-a-bikes while still delivering the power transfer needed to win races. That commitment to improving the cycling experience is evident in concepts like BioViz, an exclusive high-visibility concept that blends bright and reflective fabrics, high-contrast designs, and cutting-edge science intended to ensure that you're more visible to motorists, an in turn, safer on the road. This approach is backed up by a staggering amount of data collected during real-world tests, so you can be confident in knowing that BioViz is backed up by results and is proven in some of the most demanding conditions you'd likely ever face. Sure, it's a step beyond what others consider necessary, but anything less simply wouldn't be the Pearl Izumi way.

Since its founding, POC’s mission was clear: to develop protective gear that can save lives and reduce the severity of injuries. And with its objective determined, POC set out to revolutionize the world of protection, starting with gravity sports like alpine skiing and mountain biking. First, POC had to reimagine the steps of the traditional design process. Cross-functional teams of doctors, engineers, materials experts, and specialists are consulted well before a product comes to the prototype phase. These teams examine the shortcomings of the market's contemporary products and address which areas of the body are the most ´susceptible to injury during a crash. And given that POC's native Stockholm is at the epicenter of health, medicine, and advanced product development, the brand finds itself at a natural advantage in the design process, with the results being superior helmets, goggles, and body armor. A helmet like the Trabec embodies the fruits of this design principle. This helmet puts safety first by protecting the occipital and temple regions of the skull, which are common, serious points of trauma in a mountain bike crash. And after working with industrial engineers, POC created its own in-molding process that combines the strengths of the two most commonplace helmet technologies — hard shell and in-mold. POC helmets, like the Trabec, feature a PC shell that's mated with Aramid fibers and an EPS foam. Accordingly, the helmet is able to provide more protective coverage without sacrificing a low overall weight or ventilation. These helmets have come to represent the utmost in safety, comfort, and performance. After achieving a swift dominance of the mountain market, it was only a matter of time until POC found itself entrenched in the world of road biking helmets. At first, it entered the market with a focus on aerodynamics, something that POC perfected with alpine ski helmets. It released the uncanny Tempor helmet to rave reviews and wind tunnel data that was almost unbelievable. And more recently, it's made waves in the pro peloton with the Octal and Octal Aero helmets, as well as with the retro-forward DO Blade sunglasses. With its road line, POC placed an extraordinary amount of importance on perfecting the trifecta of weight, aerodynamics, and comfort. So, it came as no surprise when Andrew Talansky won the 2014 Criterium du Dauphine wearing POC. Today, POC is proving itself to never be one to rest on its laurels. Its design philosophy has expanded to include mountain bike and road bike clothing, producing triumphant innovations in fabric technology and design. It leaves us feeling resolute that, despite not knowing what the future holds, we’re certain that POC will be there pushing the envelope in order to keep us all safe.

POC utilizes Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough, a revolutionary compound that stiffens upon impact. Shop POC helmets, clothing, & body armor at Backcountry.com.

POC - Ski & Snowboard Apparel, Sunglasses, & More

When POC opened up shop in 2005, the goal was simple—save lives and reduce the consequences of falling. The Swedish brand was originally focused on the skiing market, where it found nearly immediate acceptance through its sponsorship of top-level racers and freeskiiers. And with the inherent similarities between skiing and cycling, not to mention the overlap in participants, it wasn't much of a leap to dive headlong into building protection for those on two wheels. The launch of the Trabec helmet series was met with immediate praise, and the combination of its distinctive appearance and impressive protection won it legions of fans. The same can be said of POC's padding, which employs a proprietary material known as VPD. This lightweight, pliable material conforms naturally to the body, but stiffens under impact, which makes it a perfect choice for building lightweight, protective body armor. The combination of VPD and low profile cuts have made POC's body armor among the most sought after in the cycling world. POC's venture into cycling became even more exciting when it launched the road line. The most noticeable piece was undoubtedly the Octal helmet, which provided ample coverage and plenty of protection, with a shape that was at once simple and modern, and unmistakably POC. But while the Octal got fans and racers talking, it might have been easy to overlook the excellent AVIP clothing lineup, and that would be a serious mistake. This high-visibility clothing was once again designed with rider safety as the primary concern, but wearing the well-cut and beautifully made pieces makes it immediately clear that safety doesn't come at the expense of comfort or quality. And with the addition of the Raceday line, which pairs race ready fits with a refreshingly clean aesthetic, it's clear that POC is dedicated to making the clothing that performs at the sport's highest levels as well. It's a story we expect to repeat itself—clothing and equipment that's driven in equal parts by a need for safety and a demand for products which riders simply love.

Giordana

Bike racers and cycling enthusiasts around the world associate the name Giordana with exceptional Italian-made cycling apparel. Giorgio Andretta, the man who first brought Pinarello and several other superb Italian brands to the United States, created Giordana in 1980. All of Giordana's apparel, including its top-of-the-line Body Clone collection, comes to the States from its manufacturing facility in Bonferraro, Italy. There, designers continually test and innovate with fabrics and styles as well as elicit feedback from elite American cycling teams. The result: exceptional race wear that fits the needs of the American market yet remains unequivocally Italian in craftsmanship. 

When Giorgio Andretta began importing fine Italian cycling equipment for the North American market in 1971, he couldn't have foreseen where it would take him. He had been a successful cyclist in his home country of Italy, and the connections he made through racing were instrumental in building and maintaining his import business when he moved to America. After a few years spent dealing in the designs of others, he founded Giordana Cycling Apparel in 1979, naming it after his daughter. The fact that he named it after his baby girl has no small bit of significance, as it reflects Giorgio's steadfast devotion to his brand. Giordana clothing was originally built by a number of respected clothing manufacturers in Italy. This was instrumental in building some innovative products that have influenced everything since, like the Gamex, the earliest example of a truly lightweight, high-visibility shell jacket. By 1986, staggering demand necessitated a change in the business model, and Giordana opened its first plant in Italy. From there, it was off to the races, so to speak, with rapid adoption of new fabric technologies and a slew of sponsored teams that were instrumental both in developing product and raising the profile of the brand. In addition to sponsoring athletes, Giordana has also provided official clothing to some of the sport's highest profile events, both in America and in Europe. Today, Giordana's clothing is a staple in the wardrobes of many discerning cyclists. The FormaRed Carbon bib short, in particular, is a strong contender for the most popular pair of bibs amongst our employees. And the trickle down of technologies is evident in the Silverline and Fusion series as well. And when you consider the unique aesthetic, which covers both cutting edge and heritage-inspired designs, it becomes plain to see that Giordana is informed by the past, and yet remains resolutely focused on building a bright future.

Oakley

To call Oakley an industry leader is an understatement; Oakley has been reinventing the outdoor products we use for nearly 40 years. Oakley blends science and art to make eyewear, clothing, and accessories that routinely exceed the current standards for performance. It all started in 1975, when Jim Jannard had an idea to develop a motorcycle handgrip using an ergonomic design and a new, hydrophilic material that made the grips stickier with sweat. Immediately, pro riders noticed. Jim’s next design was the O-Frame MX goggle. Pros like Mark Barnett, Marty Smith, Johnny O‘Mara, and Jeff Ward championed its clarity and wide peripheral view. O-Frames put Oakley on the map, and it wasn’t long before Oakey’s sunglasses designed specifically for sport and goggles for ski, snowboard, mountain bike and BMX pursuits were showing up on the faces of professional athletes and fans alike. Oakley has revolutionized these industries with ground-breaking innovations in polarization, optical clarity, molding, materials, impact resistance, and fit. Radically new designs like the Blade, Razor Blade, and M Frame altered our expectations of how sport sunglasses should look and perform. In addition to advanced optics and industrial-strength protection, the cutting-edge design of Oakey eyewear is now enhanced with crystal-clear sound. Sunglasses and goggles with built-in MP3 and Bluetooth capabilities enable users to rock out and stay connected no matter where they are. Oakley has made innovative leaps in other categories as well. Its outerwear incorporates technology like Reversible Heat Storage, which was developed for the space program. Oakley’s Pro Rider series of jackets, pants, and baselayers was designed to meet the specifications of leading professional skiers and riders. Unlike traditional flat cutouts, Oakley sport clothing is designed with CAD/CAM digital sculpturing for perfect fit and comfort. This technology is also used in the design of its footwear to integrate all of the components of the shoe for a better fit. Oakely watches combine Old World craftsmanship with New World technology to deliver unexpected results. Even Oakley backpacks are famous for their design—at once sleek, stylish, and extremely functional. Since it was founded, Oakley’s approach has been both innovative and artistic; decades later, Oakley has been awarded nearly 600 patents, and its products are sold in over 100 countries worldwide. These innovations have earned Oakley a reputation for reinventing the products that we use every day; this reputation makes the iconic “O” logo as in-demand as any in the world.

Smith

Smith Optics was founded in the early 1960s by Bob Smith, a hard-charging skier with a problem—his goggles kept fogging up. An orthodontist by trade, he put his skills to work and created the first goggle with sealed double lens and breathable, ventilating foam lining. Since this beginning, Smith has continued to lead the industry with not only innovative technology, but with cutting-edge style; its mission, in its own words, is to “make great days better.” Smith’s factory in Clearfield, Utah, focuses on three product lines: sunglasses, goggles, and helmets. Smith sunglasses combine leading technology with the latest fashion to create the ultimate eyewear. Lens materials range from Techlite polarized glass, the lightest-weight glass on the market, to Carbonic TLT, the most impact-resistant, optically correct polycarbonate. All Smith lenses feature a multi-layer lens construction, and many also include built-in polarization that filters out 99% of glare off reflective surfaces. Polarchromic sunglasses combine this polarization with UV sensitivity that enables them to automatically adjust its tint in response to changing light conditions. Smith’s ChromaPop technology offers the ultimate color definition—after you Pop, you’ll never go back. Smith’s innovations extend to its frames, too, in both materials and design. Smith’s groundbreaking Pivlock and Interlock interchangeable technology allow for easy lens swaps for different settings and conditions. Its Evolve frames are 53% bio-based, made in part from easily renewable castor plants. Other frame materials include light and flexible Grilamid nylon, rich handcrafted acetate, and lightweight, durable metals. Smith’s goggles for snow and moto sports offer different levels of performance to meet all needs and budgets. Leading the way is Smith’s growing I/O line of goggles with interchangeable lenses that offer the ultimate in flexibility. Polarchromic technology accommodates changing conditions over the course of a day or a week, from stormy mornings to sunny bluebird afternoons. As in its sunglasses, Smith’s goggles offer exceptional distortion-free optics and reliable impact resistance. True to its roots, Smith’s goggles continue to emphasize fog-free vision. Whether utilizing impeccably designed ventilation or battery-powered Turbo fans to clear moisture, Smith goggles enable you to see clearly no matter how hard you’re working. The ventilation systems are enhanced by innovative tech like the Fog-x lens treatment that's etched into the lens, so it won't wear off like other anti-fog coatings. First and foremost, Smith ski and snowboard helmets are designed with safely in mind. But as might be expected, the helmet-goggle interface is also a significant focus. Helmets are designed to match curve of a goggle frame, which allows precise alignment with ventilation channels in goggle and helmet. And for those who like to rock out when they’re making turns, Smith offers the latest in audio options from Skullcandy. These days you’ll see Smith helmets on bikers, too. Its cutting-edge, award-winning Forefront mountain bike helmet uses Aerocore construction and Koroyd to create one of the lightest, most protective helmets on the market.
