Coalatree Trailhead Adventure Shorts Kickstarter Outdoor Gear Startups Small Brands

Coalatree, an eco-minded outdoor apparel startup, does the whole Kickstarter thing better than about anyone. Their projects have a way of garnering thousands of backers and raising huge sums of money.

Last year, they launched one of those wildly successful projects for the Trailhead Adventure Pants (You can read our in-depth review of the pants here). Now Coalatree is back on Kickstarter with a pitch for their brand new Trailhead Adventure Shorts.

These warm-weather siblings include many of the same features as the pants:

They’re made with four-way stretch fabric allowing for easy movement
They’re water and stain resistant (liquids bead up on the fabric)
They’re made with nylon ripstop fabric to prevent rips and tears
They include an adjustable drawstring waist band for a comfortable fit
They’re designed to transition seamlessly between athletic pursuits and around town wear

Check out this video to see the Coaltree Trailhead Adventure Shorts in action, and then head on over to the Kickstarter to back the project and get discounted pricing.

Keep up the good work. Everything I’ve gotten (Voormi, High Tail Designs, etc) has been high quality and your customer service is impeccable. Thanks!

Kicking butt for small brands

Early last year, completely on a whim, I sent an e-mail about Kula Cloth to Garage Grown Gear. At the time, I didn't even have the final product - I was frantically churning out prototypes and feverishly navigating the uncharted waters of figuring out a production process for my piece of gear.

I was stunned when Lloyd from Garage Grown Gear wrote back to me - and wanted to meet me at Outdoor Retailer in Denver to talk about my product. Nervously, I met him in the lobby and gave him a prototype for Kula. He delivered a prototype to Amy Hatch, the founder of GGG, who used it on a week long backpacking trip in the Wind River Range and LOVED it (coincidentally enough, the idea for Kula came to me while I was backpacking in the Winds in 2015).

Amy and Lloyd believed in me long before there was 'proof' that Kula was going to be a success... long before I even had the final product. They saw the greater vision for what Kula represents - a vision for a community of empowered women and girls who are setting the example for Leave No Trace ethics by choosing to adventure with intention.

I will never, EVER be able to forget the grace, support and wisdom that have been bestowed upon me by Amy and Lloyd. I'm truly grateful that they were able to see the dream for Kula Cloth through my eyes - and I'm so blessed to consider them friends. Amy and Lloyd do amazing things for start-up brands, and I cannot recommend them and the products that they endorse more fully.
