Vertical Athletics creates performance headwear and accessories designed for comfort, durability, and everyday wear. Each item features patented Coolcore fabric that cools on contact, is made from recycled water bottles, and offers UPF 50+ protection. Their product lineup includes cooling headbands, sun scarves, tiebacks, and pet bandanas, all crafted in the USA.


Founded in 2008 by female veteran Renee Krieg, Vertical Athletics began as a tall-sized athletic apparel company and evolved to focus on headbands, gaiters, and face coverings. The brand offers a range of high-quality clothing including screenprinted and embroidered tees, hoodies, and accessories. Their mission is to set the standard for American-made merchandise and celebrate American craftsmanship.
