AMABILIS

For over 25 years, founder Brian Abrams and his crew have been creating and manufacturing some of the most impressive and best-performing apparel and gear in the world - supplying it to the likes of the U.S. military's most elite troops, emergency responders (like the FEMA rescue workers during 9/11), and civilian consumers, alike. While his present company, AMABILIS - named for the mountain in Washington - is relatively new, the ethos and dedication to absurdly well-built equipment remains. Truly, you could carry this brand's gear through hell and it will make it out the other side practically unscathed, even if you don't.
