WHO WE ARE 

Launched in 2009 in New York City, ISAORA was founded on the belief that premium performance and progressive style need not be mutually exclusive.  Combining advanced material technology, state-of-the-art construction, and uncompromising attention to detail to create modern apparel that performs, protects and looks exceptional wherever your adventure takes you.   

Our products are manufactured using only the most advanced fabrics, innovative layering technologies, and leading-edge construction so that, city, mountain, water or woods we have you covered. 

We demand more from our clothes (and think you should too).  Here at ISAORA we are dedicated to pioneering a new path in modern performance apparel and redefining the line between function and style. 

OUR USER & LIFESTYLE 

The ISAORA user is forward thinking and values good design in all its forms. He’s an active, urban, digital traveler with a taste for adventure. He insists on quality and has an eye for detail. He’s an independent thinker who embraces technology and demands more from his clothes. 

He expects excellence and appreciates products that address the demands of a design conscious, active, urban user who’s fast paced modern lifestyle is defined by forward motion.  A place where modern urban living isn’t at odds with nature and adventure, but enhanced by them. 

We live in the city, our lives are busy and fast paced, we ride the subway, we ride our bikes, we travel, we run, we shred, we surf, we go out, we stay out too late, we get up early to do it all again, we go off the grid, we’re awed by nature and inspired by adventure, we love good design, we care about how we look and believe when we look good we feel good. We expect the clothes we wear to work for us - reflecting our busy, fast paced, active lifestyle.
