GoLite has one primary obsession: to design and produce unique, technologically superior products that provide maximum performance with minimum weight.

Unchained to conventional ways of thinking, they have taken a fresh approach to outdoor product design. GoLite's innovative products come out of an uncompromising, clean-slate design approach that seeks to achieve the highest possible performance in a product for a given weight. Before a product is even designed, they look at the end use, ergonomics, the stress and environment the product will be subjected to, and style. Features are added to a product thoughtfully - and always with functionality, durability, comfort, and versatility at top of mind. Without the baggage of having manufactured traditional overbuilt gear, they have been able to push the envelope of theory, practice, and design innovation. Their systems of clothing and equipment are simple, functional and innovative; and they offer outstanding performance and excellent value at the lowest possible weight.

Their users demand the highest levels of performance, comfort, and durability from the products for use under extreme conditions. So they obsess about every detail of every one of the products - from its design to the type of materials and the quality of its construction, to the smallest zipper pull. In short, they are driven to create the most technical, functional, durable, Lite-Weight gear available anywhere.

"Gear should allow us to have the outdoor experiences we desire without inhibiting us. Gear should not only keep us warm when it's cold and protect us when it's storming, it should also allow us to move fast when it's time-critical and to backpack without knee or shoulder pain. Our ultimate aim? To make the outdoors far more accessible and enjoyable to many more people." Golite
