Functional gear for city life & weekend trails.

INNOVATION • SUSTAINABILITY • VICTORIA, BC

Our Story

Born on the Edge of the Wild.

Hikesity® is a Canadian functional-gear brand based in Victoria, BC, making material-science-led products for city life and weekend trails. We were born on Vancouver Island—a unique place where the Pacific rainforest meets the urban grid, where a morning meeting often leads directly to a sunset hike.

Living here, we refused to accept the disconnect. Why must we change clothes to change environments? Traditional outdoor gear felt out of place in the office, while fashion brands failed in the wild.

We created Hikesity to bridge the gap.
Our mission is "Comfort in the City, Confidence in the Wild." We design gear that allows you to flow seamlessly from the boardroom to the trail—no changing required.

Core Philosophy I

The Innovation Ecosystem.

We innovate in two distinct dimensions: The materials we engineer, and the way we design functionality into fashion.

CatWarm and Material Innovation
The Foundation

Material Innovation

We engineer away the flaws of nature while keeping its soul. Our fabrics feel gentle but perform aggressively.

  • CatWarm™ Tech: Our proprietary biomimetic insulation offers cloud-light warmth inspired by nature. Hypoallergenic, breathable, and efficient.
  • Nature, Upgraded: We engineer natural fibers to be Anti-Static, Fade-Resistant, and Wrinkle-Free.
  • Invisible Warmth: Infrared Reflection tech captures body heat, raising skin temp by +4°C.
Eco-Chic Braided Straw UPF50+ Sun Visor
The Aesthetic

Functional & Fashion Innovation

We embed high-performance protection into high-fashion aesthetics. Our hero piece, the Eco-Chic Braided Straw Sun Visor, looks at home on a city terrace—but protects you like technical gear.

  • Lab-Verified Sun Protection: A high-density paper-straw weave plus a UV finish deliver UPF50+—independently lab-tested (ILAC-MRA accredited) to block 99.95% of both UVA & UVB.
  • Pack-Anywhere Design: Rolls flat to a third of its size and springs back to shape (tested for 50+ pack cycles), weighs just 3.5 oz, with an open top that won't flatten your ponytail.
Core Philosophy II

Sustainability: Buy Less, Get More.

The most sustainable product is the one you use for everything. Our "Intelligent Versatility" ensures one piece adapts to every part of your day.

🔄 The "Office-to-Outdoor" Transition

One shirt, two worlds. Wear the modest U-Neck side of our AirCon Tank for your 9 AM meeting. When work ends, flip it to the V-Neck side for breathability and a sharper look on your evening hike.

🛡️ The 3-in-1 Layer Killer

Our Infrared Built-in Bra Tank replaces your bra, your thermal, and your top. Less laundry, less waste, more freedom.

💧 Medical-Grade Durability

In partnership with Revomax (Portland, OR), we offer 316L Medical-Grade Steel bottles designed to last a lifetime, keeping your hydration pure and plastic-free.

Common Questions

You Asked, We Answered.

What exactly is CatWarm™ Technology?
CatWarm™ is Hikesity's proprietary biomimetic insulation. Inspired by nature, it mimics the way fur traps heat, creating a "cloud-light" layer of warmth that is significantly lighter than traditional wool but equally effective. It is hypoallergenic, moisture-wicking, and designed for the active urban lifestyle.
Are the "Fashion Style" Sun Hats really protective?
Yes. While they look like couture accessories, all Hikesity sun hats are engineered with UPF50+ protection—independently verified by an ILAC-MRA accredited third-party lab (mutually recognized in the US and Canada) to block 99.95% of both UVA and UVB. You can read our published third-party test report (Report No. ZLPJ24853894). Select styles also use Cool Ice Silk fibers to keep you comfortable in peak summer heat.
Why use 316L Stainless Steel for bottles?
Most bottles use industrial 304 steel. Hikesity, in partnership with Revomax, uses 316L Surgical-Grade Steel. It is rarer, more expensive, and far more resistant to corrosion and acid. It ensures your water never has a metallic taste and is safe for all beverages, including coffee and juice.
