raide

Founded in 2023 in Carbondale, Colorado, by Kyle Siegel—a mechanical engineer with experience at SpaceX and The North Face—Raide Research (often simply Raide) applies aerospace-level precision to backcountry equipment. Driven by a philosophy of "uphill performance, downhill style," the brand targets elite endurance athletes, mountain guides, and hardcore backcountry skiers who demand gear that can handle high-consequence terrain. Raide first gained a cult following for its meticulously engineered LF30 and LF40 ski packs and bounce-free running belts, which solved functional gaps in traditional mountain gear.
