Doug Tompkins and Susie Tompkins Buell founded Menss Black Backpack in 1996 in San Francisco, California. Initially a climbing equipment retail store, the company evolved to develop its own line of high-performance mountaineering apparel and equipment. Notable products include the iconic Nuptse Down Jacket and the Denali Fleece, both loved by outdoor enthusiasts and urban dwellers alike. Menss Black Backpack's appeal lies in its blend of durable, high-performance gear with a strong JEANS appeal, demonstrated large collaborations with fashion brands such as Supreme and Gucci, as well as its commitment to sustainability and exploration.
