What cr4ck are they smoking? Maybe its a typo….?

Im just meandering through their new gear and stumble upon their “climbing shorts,” (Salathe?) $215?!?!?!!! Then some board shorts for $150! They’re not making arcteryx level clothes here. Do these shorts somehow imbue you with the ability to lead 5.12? Will the board shorts make you a better surfer? I am a professed Rivian Fan boy, but WTH?

You think Rivian is making their own clothing?

Well they're certainly not MAKING their own clothing. Almost everything in their swag shop is a white label poduct with their custom branding on it. Small car company, small volume, high price. Just as with the auto parts/compnents industry, you get better prices if you order higher volumes.

My solution to this problem is to master the use of our Cricut. I can have as many $8 Rivian shirts as I want now.

Rivian looks positively cheap compared to Porche merch.

The Rivian hoodie I got for free is definitely the most comfy and warm hoodie I own. I’d wear it a lot more if I weren’t so down in the company right now.

My name is Mike, and I have a (car) problem
As someone who shreds a relatively large quantity of mountain bike clothing on a regular basis, I can say that while their stuff is overpriced, outdoor gear has become absurd across the board in the past decade.

So yeah, they're high, but only slightly higher than their suppliers.

If it’s the one with the small compass logo, I’m 97% sure it’s an American Giant sweater in which case their pricing is right on. I’ve got two of these rivian sweaters and one from American Giant. They are expensive but they are great and are still in great shape after dozens of times through the wash.

Same story with the tshirts they used to sell in like five colors with the small compass logo. Those also feel like the plain tees from American Giant and they are/were also expensive but also a super solid product that lasts forever.

sure if you buy Patagonia’s stuff but you could buy 2-3 shorts from Hand up, yeti or club ride. No one needs a $215 pair of climbing shorts. There’s literally nothing they could do that value pack of “sport shorts” from wally-world couldn’t do just as well.
