Technical gear. Sharp look.
ABOUT
GORPED.
GORPED is a Swiss outdoor brand that sells high-quality technical gear for people who want their hiking kit to look as good as it works.
What we do
What GORPED does
We sell technical outdoor gear with a clean, dark look. Each piece is chosen to work on a mountain day and look right in town, across eyewear, facewear and clothing.
Eyewear
Strider is a 29 g wraparound sunglass with Category 3 mirrored lenses, UV400 protection and a flexible TR-90 frame, in Ember, Glacier and Shadow.
Facewear
Halo is a stretch balaclava in heat-reactive fabric that changes colour as you warm up. Deamon, a grey and black facemask, is available to pre-order and ships in 6–8 weeks.
Clothing
Nomad is an oversized heavyweight cotton hoodie with a zip-up balaclava hood, sold out for now. Rift, straight-leg cargo trousers in black ripstop, is coming soon.
Field notes
Our style guides start with What is gorpcore?, on where the look came from and how to wear it.
Why GORPED
What makes GORPED different
Technical where it counts
Our gear is made for days outside. Strider’s Category 3 lenses block UV up to 400 nm, Halo is a stretch balaclava with reinforced seams, and Rift is cut from ripstop. We publish materials and measured lens readings on the product pages.[1]
Styled to wear anywhere
We pick every piece for how it looks as well as how it works. The look is dark layers, clean lines and one sharp accent, so the pieces go together on the trail and in town.
