Our North Star: Heat

We have spent nearly three years relentlessly experimenting with fabrics, ventilating features, and designs to maximize heat dissipation.

Our gears' extra airflow lets your body shed up to 5–10°F (3–6°C) more heat than in conventional gear, allowing you to use sweat more efficiently without clingy plasticky feel or the chemical coatings of polyester.

Buying Fewer, Choosing Better

Over the past decade, it’s started to feel normal to pay more and get less: cheaper quality and shorter product lifespans – often disguised by kitschy social media marketing.

We're designing Terlingua Threads to be the counterexample to this trend. Our pricing reflects genuine inputs of high quality materials & time, and is meant to honor & respect both our customers and our craftspeople.

Born From a Love For the National Parks

Terlingua Threads started because of a solo trip to Big Bend National Park when one of us put our phones away and listened to a storm roll in. It became a small business between two best friends who want to honor & respect our customers, our craftspeople, and our wild spaces.
