Hyperlite Mountain Gear
PRECISELY WHAT'S NEEDED. AND NOTHING MORE.
HYPERLITE MOUNTAIN GEAR IS NOT ABOUT BELLS AND WHISTLES. NONESSENTIAL FEATURES. OR THE LATEST TRENDING COLORS. WHAT WE'RE ABOUT IS STRIPPED DOWN, HIGH PERFORMANCE GEAR THAT'S BEEN DIALED IN TO MEET, IN AS MINIMALIST A MANNER AS POSSIBLE, THE EXACTING REQUIREMENTS OF THE PEOPLE WHO USE IT.
A SIMPLE IDEA.
BUT ONE THAT DRIVES OUR DESIGN AND INNOVATION METHODOLOGIES. INFORMS THE TECHNOLOGIES, MATERIALS AND FABRICS WE UTILIZE. AND IS THE VERY BASIS OF OUR COMMITMENT TO BUILDING PACKS, SHELTERS AND ACCESSORIES THAT ENABLE OUR CUSTOMERS TO INCREASE THEIR SPEED, DISTANCE AND EFFICIENCY.
OPTIMIZED LIGHTWEIGHT GEAR FOR PASSIONATE ALPINISTS, BACKPACKERS, THRU-HIKERS AND OTHER GOAL-ORIENTED ADVENTURERS.
GEAR DESIGNED TO FUNCTION PERFECTLY AND BECOME A SEAMLESS EXTENSION OF THE USER. SO THEY CAN FOCUS ON THE TASK AT HAND AND SUCCEED IN THEIR PURSUITS.
THE GOAL IS SIMPLE: ARRIVE AT THE IDEAL BALANCE OF STRENGTH, WEIGHT AND PERFORMANCE TO CREATE GEAR THAT'S BOMBPROOF AND FOOLPROOF.
THE MAJORITY OF OUTDOOR GEAR COMPANIES OUTSOURCE PRODUCTION TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES. WE DON’T.
WE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OUR GEAR IN A RENOVATED 1880S TEXTILE MILL LOCATED AT 40 MAIN STREET IN BIDDEFORD, MAINE.
WE BELIEVE THAT “MADE IN THE U.S.A.” IS A BEYOND-WORTHWHILE ENDEAVOR THAT BENEFITS OUR CUSTOMERS, OUR COMPANY AND THE COMMUNITY WHERE WE DO BUSINESS. OUR EMPLOYEES ARE HIGHLY SKILLED CRAFTSPEOPLE WHO CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF WHAT THEY MAKE. AND THE REPURPOSED MILL BUILDING WE WORK IN IS A PART OF A SUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO REVITALIZE THE LOCAL ECONOMY, FUELED IN PART BY SMALL COMPANIES LIKE OURSELVES AND BUILT ON THE AREA’S INDUSTRIAL LEGACY.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO US THAT OUR GEAR IS DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED IN A PLACE THAT'S RELEVANT TO ITS END USE. MAINE IS A STATE FILLED WITH THE KIND OF MOUNTAINS, FORESTS, LAKES AND RIVERS THAT INITIALLY INFORMED OUR PASSION FOR THE OUTDOORS.
THE KIND OF PLACES THAT INSPIRED US TO FOUND THIS COMPANY. THE KIND OF PLACES THAT NOW SERVE AS OUR LOCAL TEST LAB.
