About Sun Bounder

Serious gear. Unserious people. Maximum outside time.

America keeps giving us reasons to get outside. From the rocky shores of Maine to the red rocks of Utah, the Gulf Coast to the mountains of Colorado, the Outer Banks to Maui — this country is almost unfairly beautiful. We've chased it from coast to coast and can confirm: there is always another place worth getting wet, sandy, and sunburned for. Our summers are spent sailing all five Great Lakes on our sailboat. We live on the water. And for years, every towel we owned was always wet.

So we fixed that.

Not overnight. Four years of testing materials. Three years developing patterns inspired by the American places we love and keep going back to. We are not fast people. We are thorough people. The kind who'd rather get it right than get it out the door.

We're not scientists. We're obsessed.

We've dragged our gear through the Pacific off Maui, across the gloriously unsalted Great Lakes, and everywhere in between. We tested until things broke, then fixed them, then tested again. Four years later, our towels are still going strong. The secret pocket alone has saved more sunscreen, snacks, and car keys than we can count.

Built for Wildlings.

You know the type. The ones who check the weather, not to complain about it, but to plan around it. Who pack the car the night before. Who introduce their kids to the water early and the sunscreen earlier. Who own an American flag towel and aren't even slightly embarrassed about it — because it's a great towel and also America rules.
SunBounder is for all of you. Men, women, kids, the family dog who always ends up in the towel anyway.

What we make.

Right now: towels that are absorbent, quick-dry, pack small, and have a secret pocket that has saved more sunscreen, snacks, and car keys than we can count. Our patterns are designed from places we've been and loved — cherry country, Petoskey stone beaches, the Great Lakes shoreline, and yes, stars and stripes.

Let Wildlings Thrive.

That's not just a tagline. It's the whole point. This country is too good not to get outside in it. We'll handle the gear.
