Born in the mountains out of love for freeride skiing, our passion for adventure runs deep. We believe that freeride is a mindset, an attitude, a drive to challenge convention, to forge your own path, to explore and discover, and choosing your own line. Based on this, our purpose is simple. As for our products, they all enable the freedom to be adventurous. Whether horizontally or vertically, on skis, by bike, or on foot, they offer the optimal balance of style and performance. Our Scandinavian heritage is ever-present, and our commitment to doing better things in a better way is our never-ending responsibility. For memories, stories, products, and adventures that will withstand the test of time.

True North® is a family-owned and operated company founded in 1992 by Alyx Fier. True North® has grown from a one-man operation to an ISO 9001 registered company whose products are distributed worldwide. In addition to packs and bags for firefighters and SAR under the True North® label, our products include a broad range of fire resistant clothing under the DragonWear™ label. Though we've grown, our headquarters are still in Seattle, Washington just up the street from the garage where we started. From the beginning, True North's® philosophy has been to provide innovative products at competitive prices, then back them up with a lifetime warranty and great customer service. The praise and the criticism we've received over the past two decades has helped make us who we are today. If you've ever felt there was some way to improve our products or service - even if it's only a little bit – we'd appreciate you taking a moment to share your thoughts.
