It all began on the heights of Font-Romeu. A true land of legends perched at 1,800 meters, it was here—between the "Lycée Climatique" and the trails of Cerdagne—that we first developed a taste for intense effort.
Font-Romeu is more than just a resort; it is a world-renowned sanctuary for high-altitude training, where champions come to find oxygen and mental strength. In this raw setting, our duo was forged against the elements.
This solid foundation naturally led us to the French National Training Center (Pôle France). Under the expert eye of Michel Gueorgiou, we shared four years of pure intensity.
Thousands of control points, hours of map reading in the rain, and the unwavering rigor of elite-level sport that builds an unbreakable friendship.
Thomas Chaulet & Mathieu Brugat
After our time as elite athletes, our paths took different turns. Thomas embraced his creative side to become an artist, while Mathieu explored new horizons. But you never truly leave the forest: it remains rooted in us, like an internal compass.
The spark for Qsense ignited in late 2024, during a reunion weekend. We asked ourselves: why should we have to choose between our passion for orienteering and our everyday style?
"Why should the spirit of the forest stop at the edge of the forest?"The spark — Late 2024
After several months of reflection and hard work, we officially launched the brand in March 2025. Our mission: to create what we were missing—an authentic lifestyle clothing collection, designed by orienteers for everyone who loves to blaze their own trail.
At Qsense, we translate the codes of our sport into urban, aesthetic pieces. Whether you’re analyzing your last split or simply out in the city, you carry the elegance of the perfect line.
