Hi, were Cadence 👋🏾 We design products for all the life that can be lived when youre not stressing over maintaining your routines. Our mission is to encourage people to reset and elevate expectations of their products and the companies behind them, beginning with our Capsule Flex System. Launched after hundreds of prototypes and a patent, our first-of-its-kind modular, refillable, customizable, and leakproof Capsules are made with a blend of 50% recycled materials (20% recycled ocean-bound plastic, 30% scrap material from the manufacturing process), designed to help you carry your routines and stay in rhythm, home and away. The Capsules are TSA-compliant, and perfect for both the avid “carry-on only” traveler as well as the “bring it all” passenger. They are also FDA-approved for anything from supplements to spices, and are fortified with an industrial-strength seal, multi-rotational threads, and double-walled protection to keep your product and your bag safe.

We create solutions for the most challenging environments – from shelters on the battlefield, to clothing built for expeditions on never before summited mountains, to spacecraft leaving the Earth’s atmosphere. Our vision is to develop thermal technology that empowers humanity to reach its full potential.

A Dozen Cousins is natural food brand that makes convenience side dishes inspired by traditional Creole, Caribbean and Latino recipes. Our product lines include authentic ready-to-eat beans and rice.

THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED, OBSESSIVELY CRAFTED. Combining form and function, our helmets feature vegan leather straps, a convenient magnetic fastener, and our secret Poplock – the most secure way to lock your lid to your bike, backed by our Bike Helmet Thief Guarantee.
