Dressed forWhatever the Ridge Throws
Twenty-four pieces, each one trail-tested above Eagle, Idaho before it earns a spot in the catalog — PFC-free DWR standard on every treated fabric, seams guaranteed for life.
Pure Hope Restored — Formerly Koinonia Adventures
We started out as Koinonia Adventures — koinonia being an old word for the fellowship that forms between people who've covered real distance together: the friend who takes the heavier pack without mentioning it, the stranger at the pass who hands over their last water report. The name has changed; what we build for hasn't. Clothing doesn't summit anything; the people wearing it do. Ours only has to hold up its end.
We work out of Eagle, Idaho, on the edge of the Sawtooths, and nothing in the catalog earns a product page until it's logged real miles out there first.

Six Racks, One Kit
Trail Shells & Rain
Waterproof-breathable shells and wind layers for weather that changes its mind above treeline. Taped seams, pit zips, PFC-free DWR — the piece you carry all day and are glad for in minute one of the squall.
Insulated Layers
Synthetic-fill jackets, vests and overshirts that stay warm when damp and pack down small. Built for cold belays, dawn starts and the long stand-around at the trailhead.
Hike Pants & Shorts
Stretch-woven ripstop pants and trail shorts with gusseted crotches, articulated knees and pockets that hold a map where you can reach it. Cut to move, built to shrug off granite.
Base Layers & Tees
Merino blends and quick-dry trail tees that manage sweat on the climb and hold warmth on the ridge. The layer closest to your skin is the one that decides how the day goes.
Camp Flannels & Fleece
Heavyweight flannels, grid fleece and sherpa pullovers for the hours after the boots come off. Firewood runs, cold tailgates and the slow end of a good day.
Packs & Headwear
Daypacks, hip packs, beanies and trail caps — the gear that carries the rest of the gear. Sized for real loads, trimmed for long miles, no straps you don't need.
A Short List, Strictly Enforced
Trail-Tested, Not Lab-Tested
Every piece logs real miles in the Sawtooths — squall-season shells, shoulder-season insulation, pants dragged over enough granite to expose a weak seam — before it's allowed on a product page.
PFC-Free, No Fine Print
Every treated fabric in the catalog runs PFC-free DWR — durable water repellency without chemistry that outlives the mountains it's used on.
Six Racks, Twenty-Four Pieces
Shells, insulation, pants, base layers, camp fleece and packs — four pieces per rack, and every one of them survived the version that didn't.
What the Team Gets Asked
Six questions the workbench fields most often — fabric, fit, care, and what actually separates two pieces that look alike on the rack.
What's the difference between the Ridgeline 2.5L shell and the Sawtooth 3L shell?
The Ridgeline is a 2.5-layer 40D ripstop that packs into its own chest pocket — the one to grab when weight is the priority. The Sawtooth steps up to a 3-layer 70D build with a tricot backer and a wire-brimmed hood, cut for the days you'd rather not tell your family about.
How do I keep the PFC-free DWR finish beading water?
Wash cold, tumble low. The heat from a warm dryer cycle helps revive the finish between treatments, and it's time to re-treat once water stops beading on the face fabric.
Can the Meridian Merino Blend Crew go multiple days without a wash?
That's what it's built for. The merino-nylon blend keeps wool's odor control and warmth-when-damp while the nylon core holds up to pack straps over repeat wears.
Where does Pure Hope Restored gear actually get designed and tested?
In Eagle, Idaho, on the edge of the Sawtooths. Every piece logs real trail miles there before it earns a product page — a prototype that fails goes back to the table, not into the catalog.
Why does the catalog only run twenty-four pieces?
On purpose — six racks of four, each one chosen so the whole line layers into a kit rather than six separate wardrobes. Every SKU has to earn its spot.
Does the Divide 24L Daypack work with a hydration bladder?
Yes — it's hydration-compatible with a dedicated rain-cover pocket built into the lid, plus a stretch front pocket for a layer you just shed.
Stock the Kit Before You Need It
Shells, insulation and packs built to hold up past the parking lot — with a lifetime seam guarantee behind every piece and free shipping over $75.
Every piece in the catalog failed a version of itself first — and got sent back to the table until it didn't.
That's why every treated fabric runs PFC-free DWR, why seams are guaranteed for the life of the garment with no time limit and no receipt required, and why nothing ships until it's covered real ground in the Sawtooths above Eagle, Idaho first.
Read Our StandardsSwitchback Stretch Hike Pant
The pant we reach for nine trips out of ten. Four-way stretch ripstop with a gusseted crotch and articulated knees, so a high step onto a boulder never pulls at the waist. The zippered thigh pocket holds a phone flat where it can't dig in, and the integrated webbing belt drops half the fuss. PFC-free DWR sheds trail-morning dew and the first ten minutes of rain.
