Tilak · Czech Republic
Founded in 1986 in Šumperk, in the foothills of the Jeseníky mountains, by a climber who could not find technical clothing he trusted. Everything Tilak produces is still made in the Czech Republic. They are the only Czech manufacturer licensed by W.L. Gore to use Gore-Tex across their range, and they back every product with a four-year guarantee.
Their Poutnik collection, developed in collaboration with Errolson Hugh, the designer behind ACRONYM, has earned them a serious following in Japan and North America.
