We are a Made in USA (Colorado and California) Manufacturer of Outerwear - Designed in Mountains - Live in the Mountains - Perform Anywhere - Our Design, Test and Playground begins at 10,000 Elevation and rises to 14,400+
We make adult garments for people who would rather be noticed for their carefree skiing style than skittle colors and aimless fabric breaks. We could make our clothes in Bangladesh , China , Vietnam or even more exotic non OSHA conforming sites at slave labor rates, however, we choose to sew in the United States and have a smaller profit margin. Not because we can't get a passport, but because we feel that keeping as many dollars domestic as possible is really good for the US Economy as well as the store on the corner. We finance our operations with your investment in us when you make a purchase of one of our brands. We strive to provide high quality durable garments at a reasonable price. The fact that we are still in business after 4 years is testament to the fact that our customer base is signaling us that we are doing something right and meaningful.
What is Fulsus USA, Freeride Systems (FRS) and Prospect Pants Co. (PPC) ?
The original company name Freeride Systems originates from the freeride form of many activities found in skiing, mountain biking, motorcycling, etc. These are not necessarily competitive activities against others. The Prospect Pants Co. name originates from a mountain located in the historic mining district of Leadville, Colorado in addition to the positive connotation derived from the word prospect. Leadville and much of the economies of Colorado were founded on prospecting and mining. In modern times, many of the economies of Colorado are derived from mountain sports and most recently from freeride sports in the same mountains the original 1800's prospectors worked and lived. Freeride Systems is now known as Fulsus USA a portmanteau of two terms. Fulsus USA has been chosen as the parent brand and will be used in conjunction with Freeride Systems. You may find both names on our products from time to time. The name Fulsus USA better represents our broad base of customers seeking our made in USA products. We will always be Freeride Systems...
FRS and PPC are companies formed by Michael Collins under a single parent Colorado LLC to transact sales of its Colorado Made apparel and gear lines. FRS/PPC products are designed in the mountains (10,200' elev +) to rigorous standards in extreme conditions so that they may perform for customers anywhere. FRS/PPC takes a very active roll in philanthropy and charitable initiatives through donations and volunteer work.
FRS/PPC were born initially from webbing based products designed to make travel more efficient in slack, hike to, side, and yo yo country for skiers and snowboarders. From the initial products and the skills of the original sewing team new products were born. In early 2011, FRS/PPC engaged professional industry design engineers to work side by side with Collins on perfecting several designs that would become the staples for the 2011 FRS/PPC lines. These new lines consist of jackets, short pants, and long pants all sewn domestically in Colorado and California with materials primarily sourced from the USA. There are some products whereby materials must be acquired from international sources via domestic USA distributors. FRS/PPC will always attempt to create 100% Made in USA products first. However, in current times of international trade agreements and globalization, the USA has allowed many facets of production to move overseas and some fabrics and materials are only available from international producers.
FRS/PPC works with mountain professionals to improve comfort, performance, and durability. e.g. Search and Rescue, Police, Ski Patrol, etc. FRS/PPC operates from a small corporate office and workshop in Leadville, Colorado USA at 10,200' elevation and the highest incorporated city in America. A Denver field office was also opened in 2011. FRS/PPC products are sewn in multiple locations throughout Colorado and California.
