Gear That Works for Women

We are a band of women athletes

We are also MOMS, RISK TAKERS, RULE BREAKERS, and yes, even lunch makers…

We design, build, select, and sell gear for women who RUN the House and FIX the house. For moms who MANAGE Zoom class schedules while running Zoom meetings. For women who BUILD strong communities and the damn IKEA furniture. And WE DESERVE gear that fits our bodies, our lives, and our adventures. (more…)
