Field Favorites
"At Trees, Water & People, I have the privilege of traveling abroad to Mexico and Central America to visit partners and rural communities. Those visits take me to some amazing locations and the Trail Ridge Trek pants and the Poudre Trail Performance Quarter -Zip are my go-tos for any quick trail, community lunch and walk with colleagues. Both items are durable, breathable and comfortable with great pockets and zippers. My other two favorite items for a cool night, a foggy walk or an unexpected change of weather are the Timberline Soft Shell Jacket and the Front Range Fleece, both super light and compact. The best parts about these pieces are the bright colors and elegance they give. I am honored to be wearing the Tellus logo in the field, especially in other countries.”

For the Birds
“At Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, our work takes us from early morning field surveys to community presentations, and the Tellus Foothills Flannel works for both. It’s durable, breathable and comfortable in the field, but still looks polished when we’re meeting with partners or presenting to the community. Adding our logo brings a sense of pride to the team and helps us represent our mission wherever we go. It’s rare to find something that works this well in the field and still feels appropriate in more formal settings.”

Search & Rescue Dependability
“As a volunteer ski patrol serving the Cameron Pass backcountry, we spend long days in cold, windy conditions helping keep winter recreationists safe. Our Tellus Timberline Soft Shell uniform jackets have been a great fit for the work we do. They block wind, shed light snow and breathe well during long searches and technical rescues. Just as important, they move comfortable with us while we’re hauling gear or assisting skiers. For volunteer patrollers working in demanding winter conditions, the Timberline jacket has proven to be dependable, comfortable and ready for the job.”
— Terry Sanders, Patrol Director, Diamond Peaks Ski Patrol
Excellence in the Elements
"As a research scientist with the Colorado Natural Heritage Program I spend time both in front of a computer (more than I would like!) and out in the field, and the Tellus Trail Ridge Trek pants are fantastic in both situations. Around the office and in meetings they look sharp and are super comfortable and in the field they shine through whatever situations I get myself into. The fabric is robust but never feels awkward and the pants have kept me dry pushing through snowdrifts, well-ventilated wandering across sand dunes and warm burrowing around in alpine bogs. They have also shrugged off many scrub-scrambles without snagging or showing any wear and tear and I’ve walked hundreds of miles in these pants. They are the first piece of gear I grab when setting out on a backpacking trip."
