Welcome to Sloth & Duck: The Outdoor Brand for Life at Your Pace 

Let’s face it—we live in a world that rewards speed. Faster. Bigger. Now. But what if life (and adventure) isn’t meant to be rushed?

 

At Sloth & Duck, we believe the best stories happen when you slow down, breathe deep, and take in the view. Whether you're summiting a national park trail or sipping coffee under the pines, you deserve gear that fits your lifestyle—not the other way around.

 

And this is exactly why we built Sloth & Duck.

It Started With a Trail and a Pause

The idea was born somewhere between a long run in the woods and a moment of stillness overlooking a misty lake. As runners, hikers, and nature lovers ourselves, we found joy in both the movement and the moments of quiet reflection.

 

We wanted to create apparel and gear that reflects that balance.

 

Not everything has to be extreme. Not every adventure has to be about crushing PRs or bagging the biggest peaks. Sometimes, it’s about the slow miles. The sunrise. The stories you tell around the campfire.

 

That’s the ethos behind Sloth & Duck.

Our Mission: Celebrate the Outdoors Without the Rush

Ultrarunners: Who love the grind and the solitude.

Campers & Hikers: Who prefer smores and stargazing over summit selfies.

National Park Lovers: Who want to commemorate their adventures with meaningful designs.

Eco-Conscious Adventures: Who care about what they wear and where it comes from.

Everyday Explorer: Parents, partners, professionals - finding peace in nature at any pace.

Mountain Lovers

Who like to live life on the trails exploring the mountains.

Designs That Tell a Story

Every shirt, hat, blanket, and metal sign in our shop is designed with intention. Whether it’s our minimalist “I Hiked” collection of iconic national park trails or our tongue-in-cheek slow adventure puns, everything has meaning.

 

Some of our customer favorites include:

 

Each piece is designed to be comfortable, durable, and true to the trail-tested lifestyle.

Why "Sloth & Duck"?

Sloths represent the slow, intentional movement through life. Ducks? They’re goofy, adaptable, and always a little bit wild. Together, they capture our ideal customer: someone who’s in on the joke but also deeply connected to the outdoors.

 

We don’t take ourselves too seriously. But we take your adventure seriously.

Join the Slow Adventure Movement

If you've ever:

 

  • Taken 47 photos of the same mountain

  • Or whispered “this is perfect” while wrapped in a blanket by a fire

 

...then you’re one of us.
