After nearly ten years of development and refining prototypes originally built for apartment living without a car, the brand officially launched in 2022. Today, they operate a specialized 900-square-meter production facility on the outskirts of Berlin, where every kayak is handcrafted. CLR Outdoor stands for high-quality, sustainable American-standard engineering and German craftsmanship, empowering outdoor enthusiasts to find independence on the water—wherever their journey takes them.
