At Burgeon Outdoor, we envision a world of prosperous Mountain Communities that are economically vibrant, environmentally sustainable, and socially rich.
Our mission is to bring this vision to life in the White Mountains of New Hampshire where we operate our business.
We achieve our mission by making all of our technical products here, donating 5% of our sales to our local community and environmental efforts, giving our employees flexible working hours, providing both health and dental benefits, as well as giving them opportunities to earn bonuses based on the success of our business. We use environmentally friendly materials (deadstock, recycled, and natural fibers), and source as locally as possible.
What we do is create world class alpine apparel for the active outdoor enthusiast.
