We are proud to be a Canadian Company.

A message from Roslyn Ruso:

At this time of choices and challenges, choose to do business with a Canadian company that has stood the test of time. Winter Woolies Activewear has been around since 2008, providing customers with luxury, soft, thermal-core activewear for ladies, men, and kids. Our small company has endured because of YOUR commitment to our brand and YOUR satisfaction with our comfort products, our designs, and our customer service.

All of our products are Made in Canada, either in-house or by small Canadian-operated companies within a 20 km radius of Toronto. Our fabrics are Canadian-made or imported from Italy or the United States. Our team of Canadian workers is like an extended family, and they have been committed to our brand for ages—most since we started the business.

Manufacturing, including design work, patterning, cutting, sewing, finishing, packaging, and distribution, is all done right on our premises in Ontario. Over the years, we have had many opportunities to "grow," to expand, and to go for the big buck. Having previously gone that route back in the day with my swimwear wholesale company, I know the stresses and anxieties that can ensue. We are happy, content, and very proud to be a Canadian design and manufacturing company that has been successful for more than 20 years.

Did you know I designed the first pair of Winter Woolies for my young kids to wear under their snow pants when they played outside? My horseback riding buddies said, "Hey, we want those to wear for winter riding." I made some up and sold them at the Royal Winter Fair, and they were a huge hit. I created ladies' leggings and then a men’s line, along with the kids’ line.

Over the years, I added different thermal fabrics and designs that were practical yet contemporary and fashionable as outside wear as well. We are Canadian! We know Canadian winters, and we make thermal wear to help you enjoy this beautiful season, creating products for skiing, skating, cross-country, hiking in cold weather, dog walking, snowshoeing, winter camping, and ice fishing.

My first slogan was, “Don’t forget Your Winter Woolies,” which is a standard joke around our place whenever someone is about to head out for winter sports! Since 2008, I have exhibited Winter Woolies successfully at over 120 consumer and wholesale-based trade shows, spreading the brand and showcasing what a delightful product Winter Woolies Activewear is.

We hope you will share in our continuing journey and look forward to a whole new collection for the next season.

“Go placidly amidst the noise and haste.”
