About us – or rather – about the flow
Our mission: Your flow.
Vertical Flow stands for a clear idea:
Clothing should not bother you – it should support you.
We develop climbing pants, tops and shirts that help you stay in the moment – whether you're hooking, dyno, hiking or chilling on the mat.
Freedom of movement, comfort and honest design.
No compromises and a lot of passion for detail.
Hi, I'm Aga – founder of Vertical Flow, passionate climber and boulderer for over 25 years.
Originally from Poland, I fell in love with the Franconian Jura 20 years ago and chose this place as my current home.
I love being in the flow – and I want to help you find your own flow with our clothing.
How it all began
During my year-long climbing trip—while planning my dream tour in the Franconian Jura—one thing became clear to me: The right climbing clothing can either carry you or hold you back. With all my climbing pants, there was that typical moment: "First pull up the leg, then put the leg on." Something always pinched, slipped, or constricted.
When I asked my climbing friends about it, it became clear – I’m not the only one .
So I did something.
I launched a survey with over 350 climbers and boulderers . I wanted to know: What bothers you? What do you wish for?
With your honest answers – and countless field tests outdoors, in the gym, on the rocks, and while highlining – they were created: the most comfortable climbing pants in the world.
High-quality fabrics, sustainable production, short delivery routes
Short delivery routes, fair working conditions and support for traditional craft businesses are a matter of course at Vertical Flow.
High-quality fabrics
We only use high-quality fabrics – like our unique 4-way stretch cotton , which stretches in all directions and performs well under intensive use.
For full freedom of movement without having to pull up your trouser legs – the trousers simply come with you.
Designed in Franconian Jura
All ideas and designs originate in the heart of sport climbing – the Franconian Jura.
There they are extensively tested and further developed until we hear the Franconian "Basst scho" - and are truly sure that everything fits, fits, and does what it promises, so that you are satisfied with the product.
Sustainable production
Our pants and tops are manufactured fairly and sustainably in small European production facilities in Poland .
We purchase our 100% organic cotton T-shirts from a trusted supplier and have them printed in Poland.
And the name Vertical Flow?
Flow is clear.
Vertical comes from climbing, of course, but also from the 4-way stretch fabric we use for most of our pants. Unlike conventional pants, this stretches not only horizontally but also vertically, ensuring complete freedom of movement.
That's why there's no need to lift your trouser leg before the next train. The trousers simply come with you.
How do you actually show “comfortable” in a picture?
Good products deserve good photos – and that’s exactly what we have thanks to the amazing support of our community.
Our images tell stories of movement, freedom, and style. And this is only possible thanks to the contributions of so many amazing people: inspiring models, passionate athletes, close friends—and talented photographers who perfectly capture our spirit: Stefan Riedl, Matthias Hüther, Carles de Diego Boguñá, Bartek Gralewicz, Mateusz Iwańczyk, and Michał Głoś .
You are an important part of Vertical Flow. Thank you for your energy, your perspective, and your support. 🙌
Thank you for being here.
Vertical Flow may be a new outdoor brand, but we bring a wealth of experience from climbing and bouldering.
We work with the best production facilities, with great athletes, and understand the demands of the rock face. We know exactly how clothing should feel when you're hanging 30 meters above the ground—or when a mantle costs you everything.
Look around, choose your favorite pieces and find your flow.
