About Us

Aerosphere was founded in November 2013 by Jason Grey, a helicopter pilot turned entrepreneur, when he couldn't find apparel to match his passion for flying.

Grey set out to build a clothing brand for pilots that he named Aerospace, but legal concerns forced a name change, and Aerosphere was born. The new brand was embraced by the downhill MTB communities in California and the UK. Then more extreme sports athletes started to resonate with the high-energy Stellenbosch startup. 

In 2017, Grey and brand ambassador Josh Bull started to discuss adding a technical product to the apparel lineup. That technical product was Downhill MTB goggles, and the demos sold out in under an hour on Instagram. The company immediately pivoted into eyewear which turned out to be the start of a 2-year lens technology rabbit hole for Grey. Under intense guidance from a 20-year lens technologist veteran, a mentor-ship born from Grey's lens quality "OCD", 5 more frames were eventually added to the Aerosphere lineup. The Airborne, Slipstream, Vortex, Phantom, and Nanotech frames.

 

At the end of 2022, Shane Reyneke, a gifted graphic designer joined Grey as a partner. Together they are steering the brand towards the future, and with a growing customer base the Aerosphere story continues.
