How Funkguard Started
FunkGuard started with a simple idea: work gear should protect you and reflect your personality.
We were tired of plain, boring gear that all looked the same, so we set out to create gaiters that combine dependable protection with bold, unique patterns.
Every pair is handmade with care using durable fabrics—including recycled denim in selected designs—so you can stay comfortable while standing out from the crowd.
Where Pattern Meets Protection.
