“This River Run Hoodie has been with me since the beginning, and it's still my go-to after all these years. The photo captures a moment after Dustin and I had wrapped up an event at Grand Targhee. The weather was perfect, so we decided to seize the day and climb the Tetons to shake off the hustle and reconnect with nature. Dustin caught this candid shot just as I was soaking in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Tetons. Every time I see this picture, it takes me back to that unforgettable adventure.”

“I started working at VOORMI in 2018, and it has become an integral part of my life ever since. As our family has grown, it’s been fantastic to have gear that can keep up with all our adventures, whether we’re chasing a toddler, a fish, or anything else. We’ve had the joy of catching fish in the high country of Colorado and even saltwater species down in Honduras. It’s such a thrill to comfortably explore the outdoors with our little one, and I can't wait for her to grow into her own VOORMI gear!”
Amanda, Customer Service Manager
“Spending time outdoors for some waterfowl action is one of my favorite activities, especially with my trusty dog, Tess, by my side. On a recent trip to Alberta, Canada, I made sure to pack my VOORMI Diversion hoodie. This hoodie is a real game-changer—it's durable, functional, and incredibly versatile. Plus, it doesn't take up much space in my bag. The trip was fantastic, and the hoodie proved to be perfect for various situations and weather conditions. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure!”
Dan, Founder & Owner
“I love winter! It’s one of my favorite times of year to be outside. Spending time in nature with my dog, Stitches, is my favorite thing to do. We were cross-country skiing a few years ago when Stitches’ little paws got cold. Having a ‘MacGyver’ moment, my VOORMI Drift Jacket was the perfect way to keep her warm and cozy. I created a little sling to carry her in. I can’t recommend VOORMI gear enough; I’ve been buying clothing since 2014. It’s the best investment I’ve ever made for my outdoor adventures.”
Sandrine, Pagosa Springs Retail Associate
“The VOORMI AN/FO Jacket holds a special place in my heart. It was one of the first products and fabrics we ever created, and from the start, it became my go-to shell for any winter adventure. I remember taking early prototypes with me to the South Pole, and since then, this jacket has been my trusty companion on countless expeditions. Whether it was summiting Denali, enjoying bottomless powder days in the San Juans, or embarking on Sail & Ski expeditions to Svalbard, the AN/FO Jacket was always there.”
Dustin, CXO
“I don’t want to send you a story, but this is cute as hell. Ren, the blowdown burrito."
Cory, Wholesale & Operations
“I bought my first River Run around 2019 and loved it so much that I got another one when I joined the company in 2022. The River Run has been part of many of my 'firsts.' It served as a base layer for my first time skiing, accompanied me on my first backpacking trip, and was there when I first learned to fly fish, discovering just how challenging fishing can be. On my first day learning to fly fish, I experienced all four seasons in one day: it started cold, turned sunny and warm in the afternoon, and ended rainy and stormy in the evening. I wore my River Run all day, layering up in the morning and evening and shedding layers in the afternoon, but the River Run stayed on the entire time. We camped for three days that weekend, and I wore the same River Run throughout. It even endured me constantly getting the hook stuck on myself. I eventually caught a fish, and I still have this River Run Hoodie. It is one of my favorite pieces.”
Carly, Pagosa Springs Retail Associate
“I bought my first River Run Hoodie in 2017, before I started working for VOORMI. In 2018, I took it with me on a hike through the Andes Mountains in South America. For five days, I trekked through the stunning landscapes, meeting locals and trying to make friends with llamas. I spent time with farmers and children who live and thrive at 16,000 feet above sea level. One of the highlights of my trip was befriending local dogs who would hike alongside me for hours before heading back home. I still have that hoodie; it's in great condition and seems to get more comfortable with time.”
