What KJUS does
KJUS is a premium global sportswear company that designs and sells high-performance apparel for golf, ski, lifestyle, and junior use cases, founded in 2000 and headquartered in Hünenberg, Switzerland, with its principal DTC storefront (kjus.com) operated by KJUS North America, Inc., a Colorado-incorporated subsidiary based in Boulder. The company sits within the Acushnet Holdings Corp. (NYSE: GOLF) portfolio alongside Titleist, FootJoy, Vokey, Scotty Cameron, and Pinnacle, sharing the parent's distribution channels, marketing, and customer relationships in the global golf ecosystem.
The product catalog spans men's, women's, and kids' golf, ski, and lifestyle apparel — polos, midlayers, jackets, vests, pants, rainwear, baselayers, and accessories — differentiated by proprietary fabric technologies including Graphene-enhanced thermal regulation, VaporTemp thermoregulation, Reactive Climate Control, KJUS Fast Thermo Core stretch insulation, Hyper 3D Stretch panels for the golf swing, Hydraulic moisture transport, Mineral Circulation infrared conversion, Eco-Coffee recycled fiber, Carbon Capture polyester, and Moisture Renewal yarn. Pricing ranges from approximately $39 for entry-level accessories to $579 for premium outerwear such as the Pro 3L 3.0 Jacket, placing the brand firmly in the luxury outdoor apparel segment.
KJUS's business model is a US-restricted direct-to-consumer e-commerce operation with free standard shipping on orders over $250 and always-free returns; international brand presence is maintained through the parent group's multi-region distribution footprint across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Americas, the Middle East, and Africa. Revenue is generated through one-time apparel sales to affluent golfers, skiers, and lifestyle consumers seeking understated performance pieces, with marketing primarily executed through owned digital channels — the kjus.com storefront, the Links & Lifts blog, email newsletter capture, and integration with Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Vimeo. Brand-level revenue, headcount detail, and funding history are not separately disclosed because KJUS is reported as a brand within the publicly traded Acushnet Holdings Corp.
