Long before we started RevolutionRace we met a girl at a trade show who said she’d rather use her old jeans when picking blueberries than soiling her expensive outdoor trousers. That was the first time we realised the outdoor industry had a problem. We’d often felt the same way while backpacking and travelling around the world. Not only were the established outdoor brands too expensive, but their trousers fit poorly and seemed to be designed for men only. And the colours? Fifty shades of boooring. The market was missing a brand that made fun, high-quality clothes at a reasonable price, and we kept thinking that somebody should do something about it. During a hike to Everest Base Camp, the idea for RevolutionRace was born. The “somebody” we had been searching for ended up being us. The journey of the product When we first started out we had much to learn. The fit was no good, the threads were too weak, and the workmanship was far from perfect. Twelve samples and a lot of headaches later we had a great looking first product – our original Nordwand pants! But when we visited our manufacturer in Vietnam, we realized that the pants hadn’t been made to our detailed specifications. The plant manager watched in horror while Niclas tore up twelve pairs of pants on the spot. The factory worked with several large brands and at the time, we were their smallest (but likely the most demanding) customer. We had a long emergency meeting and in the end they reluctantly ended up replacing the entire collection. Today we’re one of their biggest customers and we often laugh at the story. They’ll never choose the wrong thread for a RevolutionRace product again! Want to know more about our products?
