Going against the current to transform lives

Absolute commitment to your purpose

Back Current is much more than a sportswear brand — it’s a community that inspires people to push their limits and transform themselves through endurance sports.

Its founder, Cristino Pérez, a civil engineer, left a successful corporate career to pursue a deeper purpose. After completing his first Half Ironman — an experience that changed everything — he decided to create a brand that would embody that inner transformation.

The name Back Current reflects his philosophy: stepping out of the comfort zone and choosing what truly matters.

Back Current’s garments blend performance, purpose, and sustainability.

It proves that sport can be much more than a physical goal — it can be a path to personal growth and a movement that truly goes against the current.

Inclusivity and respect for nature
For Back Current, diversity means growth and connection. The brand stands for a community that cares — for people, and for the planet. Nature is the stage where its passion for endurance and movement takes shape.
