What’s New F’21 / SS’22

Both the F’21 and S’22 Royal Robbins collections maintain a focus on sustainability that began when Royal implemented a clean climbing ethos back in the 1960s, when he and Liz put into practice the use of only removable nuts during their first ascent of the Nutcracker Suite. 

Being in nature motivates Royal Robbins to protect it for future generations with a serious commitment to sustainable materials and practices. The result is clothing that goes everywhere and let’s you adventure more with less, with styling that makes going from trail to table effortless.

Royal Remastered Collection

Over the years, a few of Royal Robbins staple styles became beloved icons: Billy Goat. Backcountry. And, as they grew, everything the brand created was steeped in the Robbins’ sense of adventure. Now, over 50 years later, Royal Remastered is a curated collection of multiple styles that carries on that same spirit yet makes them more sustainable, comfortable, and contemporary.

 

Billy Goat

Born in 1975, the Billy Goat started it all. The iconic cotton canvas short built for Yosemite and loved for generations has evolved — and inspired an entire line. Organic cotton delivers the comfort and durability of the originals with a footprint that’s way easier on the planet. Updated fabric adds stretch and softness with a refined look inspired by Royal’s timeless style.

Available in the Billy Goat II Jacket, Crop Pant and Short, as well as the Hempline Campshirt and Royal Signature S/S for women; as well as the Billy Goat II Jacket, Short and OG S/S, and Vacationer Crew and Vintage Patch S/S for men.

 

Backcountry

The Backcountry collections have hiked the world. Breathable, durable, lots of pockets, proven on every type of trail, and loved for generations. One of the best hiking shorts ever. Still ready to take on any trail, the remastered Backcountry Short’s design is cleaner. The durable fabric has added stretch.

 

Guide Picks 

Build your core kit and you’ll always be ready to say yes to adventure.

Inspired by our expert MT Sobek Guides, Guide Picks are a curated collection of versatile pieces that you can trust to perform, whether in town or off adventuring. Take the guesswork out of creating a kit that will keep you warm and safe on the trail, yet styled for a night on the town.

 

Tech Travel Series

This may be the piece you wear the most. Cool, breathable and comfortable — an absolute essential for anyone living life outdoors. This will be a go-to that works on its own and layers easily for wherever your day takes you.

 

Expedition Pro Series

You’ll need a shirt created for big adventure. Pick one that moves with you, breathes, helps protect you from the sun, dries fast, and is durable. Plus, it also looks good going out to dinner.

 

Alpine Mountain Series

Pant, short, skort — you may have a preference, you may love all three. Look for stretch and ergonomic patterning so you have freedom to move. Fabrics need to be tough enough for the trail, but light and breathable enough for summertime comfort.

 

Switchform Series

The weather is never a constant, so you always have to prepare. Outerwear needs to be there when you need it. Royal makes jackets that transform instantly from waistpack to outerwear — and back again — so it’s easy to always have it with you.

 

TreeTech Socks

Comfort & sustainability from the ground up. Royal blended TENCEL™ Lyocell with hemp to create socks that are soft and more sustainable. Made from wood pulp from FSC-certified, sustainably managed forests, this fiber is a go‑to sustainable choice. Incredibly soft, it also

regulates temperatures and wicks moisture — all the things that make it a perfect choice for socks. Combined with hemp’s durability and odor resistance, Royal’s TreeTech socks combine natural comfort with versatile outdoor performance.

 

Bug Barrier

Bug Barrier™ Insect Shield® technology is based on a type of Permethrin — a synthetic version of a naturally occurring repellent found in certain types of chrysanthemum plants — and is backed years of intensive research and field study. The results show conclusively: It works.

Available in the Tech Travel L/S, Expedition Pro L/S, Discovery III Pant and - phew - a whole lot more, whether working in the garden or hitting the trail, pesky bugs are everywhere. Your time outside just got safer - and a whole lot more enjoyable - without pests ruining your adventure.
