Roark was founded on the desire to tell stories through the clothes we wear. Every collection is a souvenir of a specific journey, reflecting the colors, climate, and soul of a new destination. At The Drop, we value Roark’s commitment to "Adventure Ready" design—ensuring that every pocket, fabric blend, and seam serves a purpose for the modern explorer.
The Bless Up & Nordsman: Technical Icons
The Bless Up series is the ultimate shirt for hot and humid climates, featuring micro-perforated construction and TACTEL® nylon for rapid cooling and durability. For cooler adventures, the Nordsman flannel is a staple in our Grande Prairie store. Built with wool blends and reinforced elbows, it offers the warmth of a traditional work shirt with the technical resilience needed for a life on the move.
Travel-Tailored Bottoms: Layover and Campover
Roark has mastered the art of the travel pant. The Layover Traveler pants and shorts are designed with a dedicated passport pocket and a drawstring waist, making them the perfect companion for long flights or rugged hikes. If you need something for the dirt, the Campover series provides a durable, heritage-inspired fit with modern stretch, allowing you to move freely whether you’re setting up camp or skating a new spot.
Run & Active: The Mathis and Alta Collections
Roark’s expertise in durability extends into their Run & Active line. The Mathis active tees utilize DriRelease® technology to wick moisture and dry 4x faster than cotton, while the Alta shorts are engineered for trail running and high-output activities. These pieces prove that you don't have to look like a traditional athlete to get pro-level performance out of your gear.
Sustainability and Fair Trade
Roark is committed to leaving a positive footprint. Many of their artifacts are produced in Fair Trade Certified™ factories, ensuring that the workers who make the gear are treated with respect and paid fairly. By incorporating organic cottons and recycled polyesters, Roark ensures that their pursuit of adventure doesn't come at the cost of the planet.
