Bear Hill Sports was founded on a mountaintop in Vermont:

By a former Corporate Legal Compliance Director, Kimberly Dow, with passing professional experience as an Astrophysicist, and Educator.

Who with the help of her four young product testers:

Came to the realization that making a living in anything which required dry cleaned clothes to be hanging in the closet, was bad for her, and the environment.

There had to be a better way.

And there was.

Bear Hill Sports prides itself on making classy athletic, practice, fitnesswear-- call it what you will-- that all lives up to the company's motto:

Life is easy. Practice is hard™.

And sometimes what's hardest, is finding clothing that doesn't insult you with bland, and can stand being washed, maybe not everyday of the week, but close to it. Remember our young product testing team, who will do things to our garments, knowing there's a replacement in the warehouse, that the normal wearer would never try.

And you know what? They don't need to go out to the warehouse that often. And when they do. It's because they've grown.

So take a look around, try mixing and matching, wear the skate pants for a run, the athletic skirts for a skate, in-line, roller, or figure, they don't care, or the jackets for a power walk after work. And let us know what you like, and what you want more of.

The Bear Hill Sports Team.

What can you tell me about your fabrics?

Our Hip-Hugger Skating Pants are made from one of the highest quality, most versatile fabrics available. This fabric, made by Malden Mills in the USA, has a four-way stretch for a body-hugging fit and it wicks moisture away from your body to provide warmth without weight.

Our light weight fleece pants and mid-weight fleece jackets and breakaway pants are also made from Malden Mills fleece that offers quality and durability.

This fleece has been used as the primary insulation layer of choice among experienced outdoor enthusiasts for nearly three decades.

Our brilliant pigment-dyed heavy-weight "ice skater" and "moo's" t-shirts feel as good as they look. These premium garment-dyed t-shirts are made of 100% cotton, and have a relaxed look and feel that wear great. All our skating skirts are made from 80% nylon/20% lycra blend. The fabric is very durable and custom printed using a sublimation process which makes the fabric extremely color fast.

What is the ideal way to care for my fleece jacket?

Wash your jacket in cold water on the gentle cycle. Never used fabric softener. don't get carried away with detergent. Put your jacket in the dryer for about five minutes. Let it hang dry overnight to get the last bit of dampness out. Don't wash it more than necessary!
