Our Brands
CB Sports
Ski racer CB Vaughn started his company with one product – The Super Pant. The CB brand became iconic almost overnight. As a world-class skier, CB understood the value of high-performance apparel. CB applied that perspective to every product carrying the CB label.
Vertical Brands has created a vintage collection of classic CB outerwear for Men and Women. True to CB’s origins fabrics like Nylon Taslan with bold colors and accents the newest collection from CB stands out in a field of outerwear sameness. We believe our partnership with CB and the resulting products are a true reflection of the brand’s heritage.
Cloudveil Mountain Works
Cloudveil Mountain Works started in 1997 by two avid backcountry skiers. Cloudveil was the expression of their love of the outdoors and a drive to build better, more functional apparel. From its earliest days Cloudveil has led outdoor enthusiasts to new appreciation for design innovation.
The culture of innovation continues at Cloudveil today. Vertical Brands was charged with the development and manufacture of tents, backpacks, sleeping bags and gloves. The product is true to the brand. Vertical Brands embraced Cloudveil’s passion for product. Cloudveil is driven by its pursuit of inspired design and uncompromising performance.
Alpine Ascentials
In an era of overspecialization among performance outdoor products Alpine Ascentials emerges to deliver versatility and value. Alpine Ascentials represents a practical approach to cold-weather apparel. Whether it’s skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling or clearing the driveway – the goal is to stay warm, dry and comfortable.
Vertical Brands draws on our deep snow sports expertise to design every style with that goal in mind. Starting with durable, water repellent and breathable shell fabrics – we added lightweight insulation for warmth, articulated knees and storm gaiters. Alpine Ascentails is built just right.

We take that definition seriously. In fact all Ergonomix baselayer products are fire retardant, no melt and no drip. Overbuilt performance for some but not for Ergonomix.
