At Shepherd & Schaller we’re all about family. The people and companies we partner with are our friends and family as we work to support you and yours.
Meet the Family: Outdoor Research, where they think that life gets better the minute you step out the door on a new adventure, no matter how big or small. We learn about ourselves, each other and the environment every time we get out. We come home a little wiser and stronger. We see the world more clearly, and that compels us to treat it better. More than anything, we’re convinced that if we inspire more people to get outside, the world will be a better place. 
@Outdoor Research Core Beliefs:
A Culture of Respect: We listen, value and empower each other and our fellow adventures while striving to protect the planet we live on. Innovation That Works: Make it better, not just new or different. Improve Every Day: Sweat the details and strive to be better in everything we do. Beauty in Function: Create differentiation through clean, simple solutions. The Power of the Journey: Through challenges we grow, and have fun along the way.

They wrote the book. Literally. You can even buy the book from Patagonia, the most well know outdoor activist company in the industry. From Fair Trade Certification, to environmental preservation to Environmental Responsibility and transparency, Patagonia coined the terms we all look for as businesses and consumers.
Second rule of thumb: unless it’s faux fur, don’t take it to a dry cleaner! Their process and chemicals will ruin your waterproof/breathable garment. Happily, you can wash and maintain your performance outerwear easily at home whenever you feel it’s time to be refreshed. If it’s looking dirty or water is soaking through the shell fabric, then it’s a good time to launder it again.
We Offer Nikwax products alongside our great selection of premium outerwear.
