With the purpose of survival their goal, Beyond Clothing makes some of the best outdoor gear on the planet.
They began making their ideas reality based on the real-life demands in the harshest conditions.
If you ever have the chance to speak with the people at Beyond Clothing you know they genuinely love what they do. Passion, experience, knowledge and the best materials are all that embody Beyond Clothing’s approach.
Calling Seattle, WA home, Beyond is run by true explorers. You can see their pieces in some of the most incredible areas of the Pacific Northwest region of the USA. Through the Cascade Mountains, along the Skykomish River and up through Lichtenberg Mountains are just some of the places Beyond Clothing has been.
Layers are not a concept for Beyond Clothing; they are a philosophy which guides the design and function. Through their Axios and Kyros layering systems, there is a place everywhere for Beyond Clothing. On the streets of the city to the rivers and valleys outlining humbling mountains.
The system of layering known as Axios is a seven-layer design which is extremely well thought and executed. This system will allow you to comprehensively go further and beyond standard gear. With temp ranges from -40 to 45. Key features include breathability and quick drying times. In the Pacific Northwest or anywhere, this is highly desirable and rarely attainable.
Not only do they make incredible systems but these systems are fully compatible with each other, offering more options for the wearer.
