ABOUT THE COLLABORATION

Whether your idea of adventure is summiting Everest or too many mai tais at a beach bar, Tombolo wants to come along for the journey. We promise we’ll keep up.

As longtime purveyors of ‘Escapewear,’ Tombolo knows of no better escape than that which becomes a true adventure. That’s why we are so thrilled to partner with The Explorers Club on this exclusive capsule collection. 

Since 1904, The Explorers Club has championed scientific expeditions of all disciplines. Along the way, it has become renowned for the "Famous Firsts" accomplished by its illustrious members, including: first to the North Pole (1909), first to the South Pole (1911), first to the summit of Mt. Everest (1953), first to the deepest point in the ocean (1960), and first to the surface of the Moon (1969).

We designed this capsule in close collaboration with The Explorers Club to celebrate its tireless spirit of adventure.  A portion of proceeds will support The Explorers Club and its mission to advance field research, scientific exploration and resource conservation.
