The toughest clothes on earth
It starts with the thrill of cycling, and ends with the sheer terror that comes from being ripped from your bike by a dangerous bear. In that instant you know that spandex isn’t going to cut it. You need kevlar reinforced shorts and a wiremesh jersey from the folks who invented the category. If you are going to win you need armor, you need bells, you need mace and you need Bearproof™* That's why we've curated the best looks, quality and brands (see our ethics guidelines) for the distinguished and qualified individuals who are active in the outdoors.

Mission
Our mission
Protecting our fine young athletes from dangerous bears
Proudly providing rugged Bearproof™* products and equipment since 2010.
Our ethics
We like to have fun, but we care deeply about where we do it and about our impact on the places and people we love. Every brand and supplier we work with is qualified against our guidelines for the environment, animal welfare, fair trade and labor dignity. Read our ethics statement.
*Bearproof is an attitude, not a durability claim. While we only select, design, provide and affiliate with brands of the highest durability construction and ethical quality that have a stated environmental protection policy, clothing really isn't bear proof per se. I mean, have you seen those things? They're freaking huge.
