About Stio
Mountains hold power. They draw us in, lift us up and make us feel their presence. With drama and scale, they inspire us to explore beyond and to immerse ourselves in the natural world. They backdrop our days and stand as a constant on our horizon. They share perspective and fuel our souls. And, to us, they will always feel like home.
Stio was founded in 2011 in Jackson, Wyoming by longtime locals living the mountain life. From where we stood, we saw an ethic resonating in our communities that focused on access, action and deep connection to the wilderness that surrounded us. We defined this emergence as The Mountain Life—an interconnected rethinking that encompasses culture and connection, conservation and community, natural inspiration and active balance.
We make gear that embodies this entire ecosystem—with the functional range to transition from the epic to the everyday. We remain rooted in a vision and a viewpoint that encompasses all the elements of the mountain life. We’re fueled by this ethic as we embrace and advocate for connection to our natural world through elevated design, cultural immersion, greater stewardship and daily connection to our trails, rivers, and, above all, mountains
