50 Campfires was introduced to Jack Wolfskin, initially because of our unending search for cross-over outdoor clothing, footwear, and gear that serves well in both the city during the week and in the woods on the weekend. This is exactly the type of gear with which Jack Wolfskin made its mark … and continues to purvey today.

Besides the enormous line of outdoor gear, Jack Wolfskin takes its “at home outdoors” motto to heart, backing it with social responsibility for the environment its customers cherish. The company is involved with numerous programs ensuring sustainability with everything from renewable energy policies through sustainable shop design. They proactively participate in programs to ensure fair and safe working conditions worldwide, and have been awarded for their efforts.
