At Ridge Merino they create simple, everyday apparel with the mettle to weather expeditions, insulate adventures and soften the daily grind. As a small, family-owned business based in Mammoth Lakes, California, our family’s connection to the outdoors is woven through everything we make and do. Before starting Ridge in 2014, one of our co-founders led design and development at a major ski brand, where he noticed the pros preferred Merino wool to synthetic layers. We got the idea to make pro-level Merino apparel accessible to everyone who loves to get after it. And just like that we were off on a new adventure.
