About

prAna in Carlsbad traces its origin to a Lionshead Avenue garage where the brand's founders began hand-sewing yoga and climbing apparel in 1992. Columbia Sportswear acquired the label for $190 million in 2014, and the Lionshead Avenue headquarters now anchors design and sustainability operations alongside the parent company's own outlet at Columbia Sportswear Company Employee Store at the Carlsbad Premium Outlets. The brand holds Fair Trade USA certification across multiple factory partners and integrates organic cotton, recycled polyester, and hemp into its seasonal lines. That commitment to responsible sourcing mirrors the eco-conscious merchandising at Earths Elements in the Carlsbad retail community. Current collections span Stretch Zion hiking pants with DWR coating, Chakara compression tights with InfuseD antimicrobial treatment, and Halle joggers built on a four-way-stretch canvas designed for multi-pitch rock routes.
