Meridian Compass
A sighting compass milled from a single billet, with a sapphire jewel bearing that settles in under two seconds even at a running pace. Declination adjusts by feel, gloves on, eyes up.
Atlas Field
Gear for the places the maps forget. We build kit for the long approach, the thin air, and the ridgeline where the weather makes the plans. Move deeper into the range.

Every horizon is just the near edge of the next one. We make the gear that gets you to the layer behind it.
ATLAS FIELD is a workshop, not a warehouse. We test in the fog band above tree line, on the ridges where three ranges stack into one silhouette. What survives that becomes a product. Everything else stays a prototype.
The Range
Three layers of country
Read the land the way it stacks: sky, ridge, ground. Each moves at its own speed — and so does our kit for it.
01 / SKY
The Overhead
Sun, wind, and the first cold. Shell systems and packable insulation for the hours you spend under open weather with nothing between you and it.
02 / RIDGE
The Spine
Exposed, technical, and rarely forgiving. Traction, harnesses, and hardware built to hold on the parts of the mountain that hold nothing else.
03 / GROUND
The Floor
Camp, load, and the long walk out. Frame packs, shelters, and sleep systems tuned for the weight you carry when the summit is only the halfway mark.

Objects that earn their weight
Ridgeline Two Shelter
A double-wall tent that pitches taut in a crosswind on the first try. Silnylon that sheds the fog band dry by morning.
Cairn Carabiner
Hot-forged, keylock nose, 24 kN.
Lumen Band
420-lumen headlamp, red-first startup.
Longwalk 55 Pack
A load-hauler with a rotating hip belt that keeps the pack level while the trail refuses to be. Carries 20 kg like it means it.

The fog band never lifted, so we mapped it instead
Three days above tree line in permanent cloud. Every ridge came at us one silhouette at a time. Turns out you can navigate by how the layers overlap — if your compass is honest.
Why the Ridgeline Two got a stiffer pole set
A tester in Patagonia sent us a photo of a bent hub and one word: "again." We reworked the geometry until the arch held 90 km/h on the frame-flex rig. It ships next season.
A field guide to reading depth without a screen
Distant ranges lose contrast and turn blue. Near ones go warm and sharp. Learn the gradient and you can guess a valley's width from a ridge you'll never stand on.
Go one
layer deeper
Tell us the range and the season. We'll build the kit list, walk you through the weight, and get you to the ridge behind the ridge.
