Baffin was born In "The Great White North", Canada. We test our gear to perform in the most extreme environments on the planet, so it will perform for you. Since 1979, Baffin has manufactured products in Stoney Creek, Canada - with its core focus and expertise being technically advanced, high quality Footwear and Apparel. Baffin designs, develops, tests and manufactures some of the world's best-performing cold-weather and full-season Footwear and Apparel products. In 2006, Paul Hubner (President & CEO) wore his -100c (yes, that's -148 Fahrenheit!) insulated winter boots to both the North and South Poles in the same year. Despite extreme temperatures, exhaustion, wet ice, dry ice, wind and snow - the boots withstood the elements. “Polar Proven” was born, and remains at the core of Baffin’s product philosophy today. Whether it's an outdoor adventure, or an industrial safety application - everything we do is with a purpose.
