We acquired SOREL in 2000. Since then, SOREL has evolved from a men's winter-utility boot brand into a premium, durable and design-driven footwear brand for fashion-savvy women looking for year-round functional urban footwear. The SOREL brand also offers a collection of men's and youth utility footwear.
Acquired in 2003, the Mountain Hardwear brand offers premium apparel, accessories, and equipment designed to meet the high-performance needs of mountaineering enthusiasts and other outdoor athletes, as well as for consumers who are inspired by the outdoor lifestyle.
Acquired in 2014, the prAna brand features stylish and versatile active lifestyle apparel and accessories designed and manufactured with an emphasis on sustainable materials and processes. Our prAna brand focuses on consumers whose active lifestyles include activities such as rock climbing, yoga, outdoor watersports, hiking and adventure travel.
