TOWN HALL OUTDOOR Co

Outerwear for Mountain Town Kids

Steamboat Springs winters are not always beautiful bluebird skies, sun and sparkling, powdery, champagne snow. This town knows winter and the kids who live here are a hardy bunch who know what works best to enjoy a day out skiing, snowboarding or just building a snowman. That is the genius behind Robin Hall’s company, her “KID-sumer” consultants, aka the kids who advise her on the best way to craft Town Hall Outdoor Co gear for them.

As a mother she wanted to create a product that met the needs of her children and other youngsters. Both she, her company founders and the kids she meets up with agreed that in addition to product performance, sustainability is a top goal. From the use of recycled fabrics, zippers and other components to grow with me seams that expand as your young one grows Town Hall Outdoor Company is making sure they leave this planet a better place for the next generation.

This year’s product line of outwear includes the Down Town puffy, Around The Town cold weather jacket and the Mountain Town winter jacket. These jackets come in a variety of sizes and color combinations. The Mountain Town Winter Pants match up with the jacket colors and all offer sizes from XS to XL. Enhancing the outwear’s warmth and protection from the elements are useful magnetic closures, zipper pulls for little hands, easy access pocket placement, pocket size and more. Check out their T-Shirts, Hats and the cutest Young Artist Collection Neck Gaiter too. You adults reading this might find something you like as well.

Growing up also equals Hand Me Ups. We love the tag inside each jacket and pant that let’s each kid “Hand Up” their jacket and pants to someone else once they have outgrown their outdoor gear. The company is also working on a trade up deal as well.

Behind all of Town Hall Outdoor Company’s products is the desire to think differently and be sure that every outfit is Planet First = Kid First.
