Living in the Southeast comes with an ingrained love for outdoor adventures + an appreciation for the rivers, creeks, and oceans that always guide us back to shore. The atmosphere carries with it a sense of living life more freely + simply.

These are just a few of the many reasons why Free Fly Apparel found itself making Charleston, SC their home. A company built on a passion for being one with nature, they noticed a lack in the market + were frustrated with the overbuilt, synthetic performance outerwear that one– was NOT comfortable, and two– could NOT LAST a full day out on the water.

So, after spending 18 months researching fabrics (and chasing redfish in the Lowcountry), Tanner– one of the company’s co-founders– discovered bamboo. By combining the incredible comfort of bamboo with a touch of quick-dry material, their “secret sauce” (and the company overall) was born. (Learn more about the benefits and the process of making bamboo fabric here).
