When SportHill founder, Jim Hill, left Virginia to run track and attend college at the University of Oregon, he quickly discovered that his usual cotton sweats and nylon shorts were no match for Oregon's cold, rainy weather. While running and racing in Europe, he continued to search for clothing more appropriate for Oregon's climate. He admired euro-styled athletic wear, yet the fabrics were not adequate to the challenge. Then, Jim hit upon an idea—merge the European fit with the best American fabrics, creating the perfect running pant. The result: the SportHill Pant and the birth of SportHill.
