Free Fly Apparel, the industry leader in outdoor performance apparel made from bamboo, has partnered with Backbone Media as its public relations and affiliate agency of record. Already well established in the fishing and outdoor space, Backbone will continue building brand awareness and momentum on a national level for the family-owned business.

“We’ve followed the growth of Free Fly for years and many of our team members are already evangelicals for the brand’s incredibly comfortable apparel,” said Ian Anderson, vice president of public relations at Backbone Media. “As an independent, family-owned business, Free Fly shares our core values and we immediately connected with their team. We can’t wait to help the brand build on its momentum and introduce them to a broader audience.

Founded in 2011, Free Fly Apparel was born from a desire to create simple and comfortable performance wear with minimal impact on the environment. Eleven years later, Free Fly Apparel has built a loyal following with its certified organic, responsibly sourced fabrics made from bamboo. Starting with a simple shirt, the product line has evolved to include numerous tops, bottoms, and accessories for men and women, but the core focus of comfort, simplicity and freedom remains the same.

“Backbone’s 25-years of experience and expertise in the outdoors makes them the ideal partner as we look ahead to what’s next,” said Tanner Sutton, co-founder of Free Fly Apparel. “We started this company because we couldn’t find comfortable, performance apparel, specifically for fishing. Ultimately, we want people to get outside and be comfortable doing what they love, which is something I know Backbone emulates in their work every day.”
