I poured my heart and soul into these shorts: tested them on 5-mile runs, hikes, lazy Sundays, even passed them around to friends. Everyone loved them. But when I finally launched them… they didn’t sell the way I hoped. So here’s my Founder’s Promise: Try them for 30 days. If you don’t absolutely love them, send them back for a full refund, no questions asked.
Every detail is designed with purpose—crafted for comfort, inspired by the PNW, and built to last. Here’s what makes these the ultimate athletic shorts for your next adventure. Backed by a Founder’s Promise.
Designed from scratch exclusively for Rainier Watch — these aren’t generic stock shorts. Every stitch and pocket was thoughtfully created with real outdoor use in mind.
Built with 92% recycled polyester and 8% spandex for a lower environmental impact — without sacrificing performance or comfort.
Lightweight and breathable with moisture-wicking properties, perfect for sweaty trail climbs or unexpected rain. Dries fast so you're always ready to keep moving.
Rear zipper pocket, two spacious front pockets, plus a hidden front zip pocket — carry keys, snacks, or small valuables with confidence.
The perfect blend of flexibility and support — these shorts move with you whether you're climbing switchbacks, running trails, or hanging at camp.
Featuring a front RW mountain logo and “Adventure Begins” stitched on the side — subtle yet bold touches that rep your love for the outdoors.

My fav t-shirts are made on Comfort Colors brand so I was thrilled to see the sweatshirt design on this brand! Rugged and roomy but soft with a rocking design. I love seeing Tahoma out when I’m visiting back home. I’ll wear this with pride in my adopted state. Love that you’re a small business and supporting our parks!
TY for creating a women’s scoop neck shirt! The sizing is accurate, texture and color is nice, and I’m glad it was printed in the Northwest! I’m especially happy to purchase a shirt that honors Tahoma while being able to do my small part in supporting our National Parks!
The first thing I noticed was how soft the material is. Putting this tshirt on feels like wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket. I’ve also washed it many times and it never fades!
Super high quality and the patch is well designed! Love all things Rainier! Even my husband keeps stealing it from me!
The fit is perfect. Not too long not too short not too tight not too loose. Soft fabric. Love it
I love this bottle! The handle is sturdy, it keeps my water cold all day. It’s also beautiful! Great buy!
Classic bottle with the PNW upgrade. Is the mountain out?
My coffee (water) bottle approves! Split back means it easy to apply. Great sticker.
The design is high quality and it fits perfectly. I get compliments on it all the time.
Great hat, great message. Hat is super comfy.
The color is just like the image and the hat fits perfectly! It stays snug during activity and keeps my head happy and warm!! And when one's head is warm, the rest of the body benefits immensely :)
Waffle texture is comfy and feels breathable while on hikes. Color is true to description and love the patch.
Love this hat and this company. It arrived quickly and just in time to wear up to the mountains. It kept me perfectly warm. Oh, and it’s adorable on top of all that. I highly recommend any of their products, great company!
The service was awesome. The sticker arrived insanely fast and is great quality. Slapped it on a guitar and you just can’t go wrong. It looks great!
Love the retro vintage look! Amazing shirt, great fit, and great quality. Would definitely recommend picking one of these shirts up for the summer!
The fit was great! I loved the mineral wash texture and the colors on the neon sunset design! The material is super comfortable too!
