Ibex Outdoor Clothing, LLC is a producer of wool outdoors clothing. Between 2014 and 2017 sales averaged US$20 Million. [1]

History

Ibex was founded in 1997 in response to a perceived gap for non-Gore-Tex and polyester outdoors clothing. [2] In February 2018 after the company's struggles in the outdoor market which led to the company laying off a third of its staff in November. [3] Ibex relaunched in October 2019 under the ownership of Flour Fund, which purchased the brand in early 2018, and is now based in Boulder, Colorado. [4] [5]
