About Us

For more than a century and a half, Orvis has built its business around a simple relationship with the outdoors. Founded in Vermont in 1856, the company began by supplying fly-fishing equipment and has continued to develop products for people who fish, hunt, travel, explore and live with dogs.

Today, fly fishing is still one of Orvis's defining categories. Anglers can find complete setups as well as individual rods, reels, fly lines, flies, leaders, waders, boots, vests, packs and fishing clothing. The PRO collection focuses on technical performance, while Clearwater and Ultralight collections provide additional approaches to fishing equipment and apparel.

Orvis clothing brings the same outdoor perspective to everyday wardrobes. Men's and women's collections include quick-dry shirts, pants, jackets, fleece, sweaters, vests, hats and footwear. Fishing-specific clothing includes technical shirts, sun-protective layers and outerwear designed for changing conditions on the water.

The brand's outdoor offering also reaches into hunting and wingshooting, with field clothing and specialized equipment. For travelers and home-focused customers, Orvis carries luggage, bags, gifts and furnishings. Its dog business is another major part of the assortment, covering everything from beds and feeding accessories to collars, leashes, toys and travel gear.

Orvis therefore works across several parts of outdoor life without losing its original connection to the river and field. Its collections combine traditional outdoor sensibilities with contemporary technical gear, practical clothing and everyday products for people who want to spend more time outside.
