We built gear made for the mountains, the rivers, and the wilderness. Series by series, we have returned to our roots of building premium gear designed for the landscape that resonates deep within our character. We started in 2009 with First Ascent, an entire line of award-winning ski and mountaineer- ing gear built by a team of world-class guides and athletes. Then in 2012, we returned to our roots as outfitter and shopkeeper with Sport Shop, the most technical line of wingshooting apparel available. Next on our list was trek and travel, so we launched Travex in Spring 2013 with a focus on intelligent, adaptable gear built by our new team of global adventure travel guides. With each step forward, our efforts were rewarded with accolades and respect. And now we’ve worked to infuse that outdoor, active vibe into everything we stand for as a brand. We’ve backed up our words with action, images, stories, and product innovations straight from the heart of the outdoor experience we all live for. Even our Outdoor series is rooted in this ethic, inspired by adventure but guaranteed to perform in diverse everyday environments. The adventure is on, we’ve built the foundation, and this is truly Eddie Bauer. OUTDOOR GUIDE BUILT. GUIDE TRUSTED.® MADE FOR TREK & TRAVEL BORN IN THE FIELD.
