Colorado is known as one of the premier outdoor recreation destinations in the U.S. Its diverse landscapes, four-season climate and abundance of public lands make it a paradise for outdoor lovers. Outdoor enthusiasts can find some of the best hiking, mountain biking, camping, backpacking, trail running, fly fishing, rock climbing, paddling, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, birding and wildlife watching in the world in this one state. Every one of these activities, the Colorado outdoor lifestyle and a deep commitment to protecting these wild places are what inspire how we design Tellus outdoor apparel and gear.
Inspired by Real Adventures
Our apparel and gear are designed with real experiences in mind. Whether we're hiking alpine trails, camping under the stars, traveling across country or spending a weekend exploring local parks, we're constantly thinking about how to make outdoor gear better. With every product, we ask a few simple questions:
- Will this layer stay comfortable all day?
- Can this bag handle changing weather?
- Is this fabric durable enough for years of adventures?
- Does every feature serve a purpose?
- How can we incorporate recycled materials?
Every zipper, pocket, fabric and fit is designed to perform in demanding Colorado conditions and to last for years of adventure.
Built for Colorado. Ready for Anywhere.
Colorado offers nearly every type of outdoor condition imaginable from high elevations and dry heat to snow, rain and wind and any combination of those in a single adventure. That's why we don't design products for a single activity—we design versatile gear that performs across changing conditions, seasons and adventures. You can be confident in your Tellus apparel because designing products here means they're tested to perform in a wide range of environments.
That doesn't mean Tellus products are only for Colorado adventures. It means they're built to perform whether you're exploring your hometown trails, traveling overseas, heading to the coast, or taking on your next national park road trip. Whether you're hiking, traveling, commuting or exploring somewhere new, Tellus gear is designed to perform comfortably across a wide range of conditions and adventures.
Designed with Purpose
Being designed in Colorado also reflects the values behind every Tellus product.
We choose recycled and responsibly sourced materials because the most sustainable product is one that performs well, lasts for years and doesn't need to be replaced after a single season. We focus on durability over disposability, and encourage people to buy fewer, better-made items.
Every purchase of Tellus outdoor clothing and gear helps protect the landscapes that inspire our designs because we give 100% of our net profits to conservation and restoration projects through our GiveBack100 initiative.
