About ExOfficio
ExOfficio
celebrates the traveler by crafting garments that allow one to
experience the world unhindered. ExOfficio was born in 1987 when the
founders discovered the need for technical apparel that performs as
gear, engineering a shirt with the functions of a fly-fishing vest, the
ventilation of a cool breeze and the construction of a men’s dress
shirt. The same thought is put into every design detail to craft
garments that will provide comfortable performance on any adventure.
ExOfficio is devoted to enhancing worldly exploration through clothing
that packs well, supports activity, and is durable enough for a
lifetime. ExOfficio is sold internationally online and in specialty
outdoor, travel and luggage stores, including five of their own flagship
stores in the U.S.
