AMERICAN EXPLORATION AND INNOVATION IS OUR CREED

Our vision is driven by our deep connection to the outdoor community. An essential part of our DNA is problem solving and providing inspiration so we can bring a better product to the marketplace. We are the bridge between function and fashion. We look for innovation through materials, fit and finish, allowing our focus to remain on the sport. 

AN OPEN LINE OF COMMUNICATION

We communicate with our core market, world-class athletes and peers, to research and develop our initial offerings of high grade base layers. Our garments are rigorously field tested on our brand ambassadors –the outdoor enthusiast. They are our focal point. We design for them.

CLASSIC AMERICAN STYLING

Bringing simplicity to the high technology of outdoor apparel. Our innovations in natural and man-made fibers allow us to engineer garments that perform at an apex level. Following a meticulous blueprint, fibers are cross-pollinated with our brand aesthetic to protect and perform for our athletes in the most extreme conditions.

 

DESIGNED TO GO ANYWHERE

DERRICK OLS (Outdoor Lifestyle) was founded and conceived by Boulder, Colorado based outdoorsman Derrick Washington and was named by a partner during a rock climbing trip in the Shawuangunks Mountains while sitting on a second pitch. Derrick’s life was transformed at an early age by the rugged snowy peaks of the American Rocky Mountains during a family ski trip. He has been committed to and inspired by the outdoor lifestyle ever since.

Because the brand originates from true outdoor experience, DERRICK OLS asks the right questions: Will the garments protect users in harsh elements? Are they made well enough to withstand aggressive wear? Is the fit ideal for unencumbered mobility? Derrick and the OLS team meet these challenges and more head on: combining impeccable fit and finish brought to life by Derrick’s premier apparel background and his lifelong passion and experience for the outdoors.
