Founded by rock climbers, Gramicci has built clothing made for movement since 1982 – which means we know a thing or two about tech pants. This season, we’re celebrating the...

Forty Years as the (Un)Offical Eatery of the Rock Climbing Community. Happy Anniversary Miguel’s Pizza! Here’s to another forty years of serving great pizza and cultivating a comfortable oasis for rock-climbing enthusiasts.

Adsum and Gramicci come together for their first capsule collection. Gramicci started as a group of eccentric rock climbers in Ventura, California who began making functional outdoors gear for their rock climbing trips. Their irreverence and rebellious-ness was what drew us to the brand in the first place, so we built on that, pushing ourselves with each color and style.

Freedom of movement has been a core tenet of Gramicci since day one. In fact back then, freedom of movement was pretty much the core tenet of Gramicci—and from the outset the brand was founded with the aim of making rock-climbing clothing that wouldn’t hold you back.

F/CE, founded 2010 in Japan, is well known for their high quality products with heavy function focus, and for collections based on one country per year.

Hard-wearing and highly-functional, the Gadget Pants (along with their summer-friendly counterparts, the Gadget Shorts) are Gramicci through and through. While they might share a few similarities with military, work-wear, and outdoor pants which came before them, they’re a wholly unique design - sitting somewhere between cargo pants, painter pants, and our own G-Pants. 

This season we’ve added an all-over tie-dye pattern to our much loved G-Pants and G-Shorts—ideal for giving a subtle dose of psychedelic flavor to the climbing wall or camp-site.

One of the first Gramicci creations, the original Jam Pants were made right back in the early days of the brand.

Functionality is at the heart of every Gramicci product, and perhaps nowhere is this more evident than on our Gadget Pants.

The T-shirt must surely be one of the most iconic clothing designs of the 20th century. Since then it’s safe to say the T-shirt has well and truly earned classic status, and even in today’s age of technical fabrics, a well-made cotton tee is still hard to beat. As well as our long-standing pigment dyed t-shirt collection, this season we’ve made a wide-range of graphic tees printed on organic cotton. Here are a few stand-outs.

Every cultural revolution has its home—a vital location which helps to shape and nurture new ideas. For mountain biking, there was Marin County, for skateboarding it was the empty swimming pools of California, and for rock-climbing as we know it today, there was Yosemite National Park. 

Think of Gramicci, and there’s a good chance you’ll think of shorts. A pair of cleverly-designed cotton climbing shorts were the first thing our founder Mike Graham put the Gramicci name to all the way back in 1982, and 40 years later we’re still dedicated to making the best range of shorts possible. Here’s a quick break-down of a few of our favorites.
