Revelyst’s portfolio of brands, including Fox, Bell, Giro, CamelBak, Camp Chef, Bushnell, Simms Fishing, Foresight Sports and Bushnell Golf, will be led by a consumer-first culture, digital excellence, consumer insights and analytics, omni-channel relationships, operational expertise and shared financial resources.

Revelyst is a collective of category-defining maker brands transcending the boundaries of precision, performance and protection. Brands in the Revelyst portfolio are known for their meticulous craftsmanship and a steadfast obsession with creating products and technologies that support consumers in a wide range of pursuits. Revelyst’s purpose is to harness this collective expertise and cross-collaboration to pursue new innovations that redefine what is humanly possible in the outdoors.

The company’s new name is a blended word that combines “revel,” to experience with abandon, and “catalyst,” an unwavering source of transformation. Revelyst captures the company’s ethos of helping consumers become their best while serving as a catalyst for memorable experiences through performance gear and precision technologies. Revelyst’s logo is a dragonfly, which unites our collective of makers and whose four powerful wings symbolize what it means to be a Revelyst:

• Innovation: With omni-directional flight and outsized endurance, this innovation of the natural world mirrors our relentless pursuit of challenging convention.
• Leadership: An apex predator at the top of its domain and a symbol of our category-defining brands and our ability to excel against the competition.
• Inclusivity: A universal symbol for living life to the fullest and an embodiment of our purpose to help everyone achieve their greatest experiences in the places they love.
• Ecosystems: A bellwether of healthy environments and clean water that we use to benchmark our commitment to the outdoors with a holistic view.

“We are excited and proud to introduce Revelyst to the world,” said Eric Nyman, CEO of Revelyst. “Revelyst is a collective of maker brands united by an obsession with craftsmanship, a consumer-first culture and helping people achieve their greatest outdoor aspirations. We will leverage operational expertise, shared financial resources and cross-collaboration to deliver products and technologies that support consumers in wide ranges of pursuits. While today we are best known by the innovations that we make, our journey to becoming the greatest house of brands in the outdoor industry is focused on the wildly human experiences that we make possible.”
