Riverz™ TechStraw™ hats are designed and built to be expedition worthy. No part is too small for our attention. Take the chin lock slider for example. We disassemble and re-manufacture each slider, adding a custom-made spring to ensure peak function even in the presence of river sand and mud.

To engineer and make this precision spring, we turned to our neighbor Scandic Springs, a manufacturer of custom springs and stampings since 1969, supplying customers like Cisco, Apple, and Tesla Motors. Scandic is also a leader is sustainable manufacturing and gets 80% of its power from its new photovoltaic roof. To keep everyone on the job comfortable (and smiling), Scandic president Hale Foote treated everyone to a warm San Francisco Hat wool cap. He says, "The hats have been very handy during the recent cold spell!"
