OUR STORY
In 2013, we set out to make better face protection for mountain athletes. Our personal frustration was the fuel to solve an all-too-common problem: no headwear would provide warmth without creating goggle fog and restricting our breathing—and we did just that.

We've since expanded our vision and are working tirelessly to create a line of technical headwear that is as functional as it is sustainable; as effective as it is aesthetically stylish.

Our journey started under the banner of North45, though we’ve since climbed to new heights. With renewed purpose and an eye toward even greater ambitions, our new name is STRATUS.
