SPECIAL PROJECTS
One of the most sustainable things we can do? Use what already exists. That’s the concept behind Special Projects—limited-run garments made from premium deadstock fabrics, cut and sewn in California. When they're gone, they're gone.
Some of our most beloved pieces (remember that decadent merino? Or the original microgrid?) were born this way. It’s a sustainability win, a creative constraint, and a chance to make something out of something forgotten.

DEADSTOCK FABRIC
Deadstock is fabric that was overproduced, abandoned, or never made it to the cutting table. Sometimes a color runs off-spec, and that fabric becomes “deadstock.” Instead of letting it sit in a warehouse or worse, a landfill, we turn it into something new. The catch? We only get one shot. One opportunity.
Deadstock isn’t just leftover fabric—it’s an invitation to make something unforgettable. That’s why we collaborate with Polartec®, the pioneers who redefined performance textiles and never stopped innovating.
IN PARTNERSHIP
ORNOT + POLARTEC
Polartec and the outdoors go together like bikes and snacks—so teaming up was a no-brainer.
With a shared commitment to sustainability, we're turning recycled and deadstock fabrics into high-performance gear, offsetting emissions, and keeping plastic out of landfills.
Polartec has a history of firsts—Soda-Bottle Green fleece, softshell revolutions, and fabrics that shed fewer microfibers. Now? Waterproofing made partly from plants. Science!
As our partnership grows, so does our lineup of smarter, more responsible gear. Ride in it, geek out over it, or both.
