GoLite has one primary obsession: to design and produce unique, technologically superior products that provide maximum performance for minimum weight.
Since its founding in 1998 GoLite has been dedicated to helping people lighten up to enjoy the outdoors more, whatever their activity. Founders Demetri and Kim Coupounas wanted to offer products that would enable outdoor enthusiasts like yourself to seek out and embrace new adventures without the burdens of heavy and overbuilt gear. Today GoLite is the world's leading manufacturer of lightweight outdoor clothing and equipment, driving innovation within the sports of adventure racing, alpinism, backpacking, cycling, and running.
People that use Golite Clothing and Equipment demand the highest levels of performance, comfort, and durability from our products for use under extreme conditions -- so we obsess about every detail of every one of our products, from the design and type of material to the zipper pull and stitching pattern.
GoLite's innovative products come out of an uncompromising, clean-slate design approach that seeks to achieve the highest possible performance in a product for a given weight. Before a product is even designed, they look at the end use, ergonomics, the stresses and the environment it will endure, and style. Features are added to a product thoughtfully and always with functionality at top of mind.
As a manufacturer Golite seeks out unusual materials from they're own and other industries and combine and apply them in unique ways. They also search high and low for fabrics and materials that are pushing the edge of what is chemically and structurally feasible in terms of strength-to-weight ratios. Watertight zippers, easy-grab siliconized zipper pulls, and super-durable 20 stitch-per-inch flat lock seams are just some of the details you'll find in our clothing. Golite places maniacal levels of bar tacking and x-box stitches in our packs and shelters to reinforce stress points. They even build functionality into normally purely aesthetic components.
The aim of all this fuss over details is to help you lighten up with confidence. Buy all all your Golite Clothing and Gear online here with free shipping. |
