Our Approach

to Design

Performance Meets Intention

We don’t design gear in isolation. For us, a garment is never just a garment—it’s part of an ecosystem. That’s why our design methodology is rooted in a holistic, interconnected vision that considers every layer of impact: environmental, social, and human.

We seek a balance between ecological sensitivity, social justice, and individual wellbeing. That balance is what allows us to create high-performance technical garments that work hard for you off the trails while remaining mindful of the ecosystems and communities they touch along the way. From the natural wonders of ZQRX-certified, regeneratively sourced, Merino wool to the stories behind every stitch, our approach is as much about how things are made as it is about what they help you do. Curious why we chose Merino wool to accompany you on your Outrails? Keep scrolling.

Everyday Performance:

Our gear is built for real life—on trails, trains, or Tuesdays. Designed to adapt, breathe, and move with you, it performs across places and moments, so you can do more with less.

Repairability:

We're working toward systems where Outrails gear doesn’t just serve one person, or one season—but can be repaired, reused, and reimagined.

End of Life:

Every journey ends, but not all gear has to end in waste. We use mono-materials and biodegradable fibers to make parting ways a little lighter on the planet.

Sustainability

Merino Wool

Our Merino wool doesn’t come from factories—it comes from open landscapes, where nature still sets the pace. Responsibly sourced from ZQRX-certified farms in New Zealand, it’s renewable, biodegradable, and built to perform.   

Light, soft, and self-regulating, Merino adapts to your body and the elements—keeping you dry, comfortable, and focused on the journey. It's tough enough for back-to-back days in the wild, and gentle enough for everyday wear. Fewer washes. Longer use. Zero compromise.
