About Runback

Runback is built for curlers, by curlers. Since 2013, we’ve been outfitting teams across the country with premium custom curling apparel that performs as hard as they do. Our gear is made using sublimation — a cutting-edge process that fuses high-quality designs directly into performance fabrics. The result? Bold, lightweight, and breathable garments that move with you on the ice and stand out in any arena.

We’re known for fast turnaround times, standout designs, and a customer-first approach that makes ordering easy from start to finish. Whether you’re a grassroots club or chasing championships, Runback gives you the look and feel of a high-performance team.
