ABOUT US

THE ORIGIN STORY

Conceptualized from Eric Lyon and Jason Olden's Boulder-based creative studio, SIDFACTOR. A world-class product solution agency with over 20 years of experience working with some of the best outdoor brands in the world. Mountain Standard was born out of a need to fulfill a gap in the outdoor industry. Create an independent Colorado-based brand inspired by the year-round living throughout the diverse Mountain Standard time zone. Living here requires grit, style, and the need for versatility from the mountains to the city.
