Walking into a running store while at a training camp in Boulder, Colorado, I was in search of a new pair of socks. I needed a pair of quality running socks that do what running socks are supposed to do: prevent blisters, wick away moisture, and generally keep the foot comfortable. Nothing more, nothing less. A simple, well-built sock that just works.

$50 later, I left the store with two half-decent pairs of socks and thought, "This is insane... I just paid fifty bucks for what, like fifty grams of fabric?". And so the journey began. I started sketching out my vision of what the go-to 'trail sock' would look like, found a few manufacturers to produce it, iterated on designs, and - just like that - Terignota was born.

But why just stop at socks? Trail running, and movement more generally, should be accessible and affordable. Trail running's soul is simplicity and I believe that simplistic aura should be reflected in the products we use. Simple, thoughtful, professional-level gear at a price point that keeps the doors to the sport open to all. Accessibly-priced gear that enables everyone to enjoy the freedom of movement and the exploration of our collective unknown.
