Sportif USA, Inc. is a retailer in the apparel and fashion sector focused on outdoor and nautical clothing, headquartered at 1415 Greg Street, Suite 101, Sparks, Nevada 89431, United States. The company, which employs between 11 and 50 people, traces its origins to 1965 in southern California when founder John G. Kirsch began by selling tennis shorts, gradually expanding into outdoor wear. By 1968, Sportif developed the first stretch fabric in the outdoor/boating industry and introduced the Original 6-Pocket Stretch Shorts, becoming a staple for outdoorsmen. In the early 1970s the business relocated to the Sierra Nevada region and pursued innovations such as Gore-Tex and sun-protective fabrics, while also establishing itself as a premier private-label manufacturer for brands like Eddie Bauer and L.L. Bean. After the 1991 plane incident, John Kirsch, Jr. and his siblings repositioned Sportif toward an independent brand, and in 2005 the company launched the Aventura Clothing line for women. In 1996, Sportif introduced Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) clothing, reflecting its ongoing emphasis on functional outdoor apparel.
