Behind the Brand

Our Story:

Hi, welcome to Kompass Apparel! I’m Kynsi, the sole owner, designer, founder (the list goes on and on…) at Kompass Apparel!  I graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in apparel merchandising and business. I am a Colorado Native and live the lifestyle you would imagine for the typical Coloradoan. You can usually find me running the trails, hiking to the summits, enjoying the outdoors in my hammock, finding cute coffee shops in mountain towns, relaxing at my family cabin in Leadville and doing CrossFit or the occasional hot yoga class. I love movement, I love traveling, I love the outdoors and I LOVE clothes! I chose to start my own business combining all of those things and Kompass Apparel is the result! Some would say it is “Colorado Chic” it’s comfy, it’s practical, it’s versatile and it’s thoughtfully designed and crafted to appeal to people with similar taste!

I have chosen to use mostly triblend fabrics that are super soft and comfy, I have also dabbled in some tech/poly blends specific to adventurers! I want customers to be able to live their life to the fullest while feeling confident in their clothing. 

I have seen my products on the highest of mountains, the sandiest of beaches and the best of the best breweries and pizza joints. What I love most about this brand is the way it connects people. No matter what your interest is, what kind of adventure you like or what you spend your time doing, my products create a sense of belonging. 

I spend an obscene amount of time deciding what to wear or what to pack for my adventures, creating Kompass Apparel has simplified that process immensely and I hope it does the same for my customers! 

My Purpose:

I assist active individuals in discovering comfortable and stylish clothes that enriches their lifestyle and elevates their adventures

My Vision:

Versatile products that build meaningful connections through experiences, celebrating everyone's unique journey!

Thank you SO much for visiting Kompass Apparel and supporting my dream!
