Holubar new arrivals

1946: Holubar begins operations informally in the basement of their home in Boulder, Colorado, selling army surplus items to outdoor enthusiasts in the area.

1947: Thanks to an order received from the Arctic Institute of North America, Alice and LeRoy Holubar buy a business license and start operations officially as Holubar Mountaineering, renting a workshop at 1215 Grandview Avenue, in Boulder.

1950: Holubar starts using nylon, at the time a revolutionary material, for its range of clothing and sleeping bags. With a pioneering approach, nylon is also used in combination with down filling. Holubar is the originator of the Mountain Parka, one of the most popular garments ever in North America, then used by many brands, big and small.
