About Massif

Founded in 1999, Massif grew by word of mouth from the Search and Rescue (SAR) and Wildland Firefighting communities to the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Army. Today Massif serves every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, the general aviation community and other specialized organizations. Massif was founded by two passionate visionaries who set the bar high for quality and excellence. Co-founder Randy Benham was a Jenny Lake SAR crew member in the Grand Teton National Park who understood the demands of rugged, unpredictable and hazardous work conditions. He wondered why flame-resistant gear was not as comfortable and effective as his favorite non-FR gear. On a mission to fill this gap and solve the problem, Massif partnered with a fabric manufacturer in Los Angeles called Antex Knitting Mills. Together, they invented never-before-seen FR fabrics and innovative clothing designs for numerous climates and contexts. Every yarn and stitch represent the vision of Massif, including a commitment to be 100% made in the U.S.A. For more information about Massif, visit https://www.massif.com/.
