Founded in 2010 by Ryan Hitzel and Ryan Sirianni, Roark is an adventure-lifestyle brand born from a desire to combine storytelling with functional apparel. Each seasonal collection is inspired by the founders' travels to a different global destination—from the Himalayas to the Scottish Highlands—with the resulting garments serving as "artifacts of adventure." This narrative-driven approach produces purpose-built gear that moves seamlessly from rugged outdoor environments to casual urban settings, a philosophy the brand calls “from the trail to the bar.” Core products include durable flannels, technical shorts, versatile pants, and graphic tees, all designed with a focus on utility and comfort.
