Our partnership with DSM, the inventor and manufacturer of Dyneema®, is as much a part of our origin story as founder Mike St. Pierre’s quest to create ultralight, reliable backpacking gear that didn’t exist at the time. That was over a decade ago, and as we innovated, so too did DSM with their Dyneema® fiber and Composite Fabric offerings.
We’ve experimented with them and utilized them along the way to chase the always moving target of creating the best backcountry equipment in the world. Still, we’ve never wavered from our belief that there is simply no better material available to achieve our goals for light weight, weather-resistance, and durability.
