The ExOfficio Story
ExOfficio believes in the magic of travel.
Whether you seek different cultures, epic scenery, or the thrill of the unknown, it's a chance to create perspective and vitality by opening your mind to the wonders of the world.
Since 1987, we have celebrated the traveler by crafting garments that allow you to experience the world unhindered. Intelligently designed products with tangible benefits—including the best-selling Give-N-Go® underwear collection and lightweight, wrinkle-free fabrics with bug, sun, and water protection—are focused on one goal: comfortable performance.
