(April 15, 2026) – Astral, the leader in equipment designed for high-performing wilderness athletes, adds Angel Collinson, healer, Nature-enthusiast, sailor, and retired professional skier, as its newest brand Archetype. Astral archetypes serve as inspirational advisors for the brand, who live at the intersection of athletics, art and craft, and who bring their expertise, experiences, and innovative mindsets to the development of Astral gear.Angel is a two-time Freeride World Tour champion, a Teton Gravity Film film veteran, a world sailor, and now, a retreat facilitator. In 2019, Angel met her now partner Pete, a sailor, and two years later, in 2021, she retired from skiing and sailed around the world for two years. Today, Angel spends most of her time in and around the ocean, and leading nature-based retreats aimed at helping people spend intentional time outside, and listening to Nature. “It's an honor to welcome Angel as the newest Astral Archetype. After spending some quality time together exploring Costa Rica's Nicoyo Peninsula, it's very clear that Angel is the complete package: elite-level performance, curiosity, artistry, humility, a remarkable perspective, and a strong connection with Nature,” said Cooper Lambla, Head of Brand and Marketing. “Angel truly trusts Nature's experiences, designs, and materials in her pursuits from the mountains to the sea, in both the most intense moments of flow and the calmer reflections and expressions that follow. We look forward to crafting some unique and necessary gear and stories with Angel and her community.” As an Archetype, Astral will support Angel’s upcoming projects as she pursues new adventures as, in her words, “a water woman.” Angel’s lifestyle intrinsically allows her to test gear designed for use in their natural habitat, providing Astral with valuable insight as the brand develops its next generation of footwear and apparel. Angel will provide ongoing inspiration to the brand as they remain dedicated to creating unique and necessary products that elevate the experience in Nature and are built to protect the maximum amount of soil and water.“Astral is like your very cool aunt, or funcle. They are highly creative, slightly eccentric, and outside the box, and most importantly to me: they truly, truly give a damn. All of those things (especially the last!) make me SO stoked to work with them,” said Angel. “I feel like these days we see a lot of greenwashing: performative slogans to win public favor, meanwhile cutting corners in the background and externalizing those costs on the environment. They keep it super real, which I appreciate, and so much of the ethos of Astral, and my personal ethos, are remarkably aligned. Down to their slogan: Trust Nature. It's literally my MO. I can't wait to see where asking big questions, telling inspiring stories, and getting eccentric and creative will lead- for the company and for partnering together!”Check out Student of the Elements, an Astral short film written by and about Angel, for a taste of her curiosity, artistry, humility, and strong connection with Nature.
