So if you’re looking for a path into the outdoor industry, and want to be a part of the brand that’s transforming the way people explore the backcountry, send us your resume!

 

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

Stitchers perform all sewing operations that turn cut raw materials into finished goods. This includes reinforcing, joining and hemming cut backpack, tent and accessory parts to create a finished product. Stitchers handle work on a large scale and require attention to detail as they are required to operate and tend to industrial, commercial sewing machines. Our product designs, along with our material choices, are so innovative that they are roughly half the weight of traditional alternatives from mainstream brands.

• Free training and a highly valuable lifetime skill
