Akta founders Travis and Jesse set out to create MTB-specific apparel rooted in passion, creativity, and sustainability.
“We saw an opportunity to not only build a better product with better value for our customers, but to build a better brand. A brand that exists beyond the bottom line.”
With a range centered around premium recycled materials, the North Vancouver-based pair turned to AX® Materials when developing their first glove.
AX® Suede Vida RPET checked their boxes for a palm material sourced from post-consumer recycled, bluesign® approved fabrics. It also fit their need for a light and breathable material focused on durability.
"AX® Suede Vida RPET had the best handlebar feel out of any material we tested, all while being durable yet soft, highly wicking, and quick drying."
Team athlete Forrest Riesco was an early adopter of Akta’s trailblazing glove:
“Been riding these for quite a few months now. Absolutely love the snug fit and the fact that they don’t stretch out. The thickness of the palm material is perfect to offer protection but still gives me that feeling for the grips that I want.”
Akta’s creative spirit is embedded in every fiber of their being. For a glove that speaks for itself, gear up with the Trail Glove on your next ride.
