There's a reason graphic tees never really go away. No thought required, no ironing needed, just pull it on and you're done -- and if the graphic on the front happens to be a bear giving someone an enthusiastic squeeze, so much the better. prAna have been making clothing with a conscience since 1992, when Beaver and Pam Theodosakis started the brand in a Carlsbad garage with a mission to build activewear that respected the planet. The Bear Squeeze Journeyman is very much the brand at its most relaxed -- 100% cotton, easy-wearing and cut in a standard crewneck fit that works just as well over a morning coffee as it does at the end of a long day on the hill. That bear knows what's up.

The need for shorts that offered supreme comfort and mobility was the starting point for prAna, the California brand founded in 1992 by husband-and-wife team Beaver and Pam Theodosakis. Working out of a small garage in the coastal city of Carlsbad, the duo set out on a journey to make stylish and functional activewear. But there was a higher purpose too – namely, respect for the planet and its people. From the outset, they committed to sustainability and lessening the environmental impact of everything they made.
It was an ethos rooted in the realisation that everything is connected. This concept was encapsulated in the name that Beaver and Pam chose for their brand, prana. It’s a Sanskrit word that literally translates as ‘breath’, but which refers to the universal energy that flows within and among us, connecting us with all other living beings. So, for prAna, what you wear matters. It matters firstly because clothing that gives you the freedom to move inspires you to chase adventures and stay active. But secondly, it matters because sustainable clothing lessens our impact on the planet. It’s the right thing to do – and the right thing to wear.
