Pants stained with fake blood, a hoodie that’s guaranteed to survive on Mars, and base layers “designed to increase your life expectancy.” Vollebak creates gear that performs in ways most companies don’t even consider.
Adventure racers, ultra runners, and twin brothers Nick and Steve Tidball launched Vollebak in 2015 to create “the toughest,” “the most visible,” and frankly, the most unusual gear and apparel on the planet. Its testers comprise a team of athletes adventurers, and scientists who between them have rowed solo across the Pacific and Atlantic, run across entire continents, surfed 100-foot waves, climbed and base-jumped the Eiger’s North Face, ski traversed Greenland, and traveled the Yukon on foot.
