Our Story
A Legacy of Innovation and Sustainability
Redefining Outerwear, Naturally
At Monarch Flyway, we create high-performance products that honor nature’s balance. Inspired by the resilience of the monarch butterfly and the natural power of milkweed, we’re redefining outerwear with insulation that works in harmony with the planet.
Our story began with a vision to transform an overlooked natural resource—milkweed—into innovative, high-performance products. Monarch Flyway has led the way in unlocking milkweed’s potential, from insulation to skincare and beyond. Building on our success with Minsolite—our groundbreaking milkweed insulation—we created the Monarch Flyway Vest: a lightweight, ultra-warm, and sustainable solution for adventurers who value performance and care for the planet.
