Featuring taped seams and wrist tightening with a self-gripping band, these are sure to become your next MUST have in your backpacking and hiking kit.

Name a better feeling, we'll wait...

quilts are some of the most popular quilts we carry EVERY year — and for good reason.

With customization across temperature rating, down fill, width, length and colour, they're your 'perfect fit' sleep solution!

If you've been sleeping in a bag rated way warmer than you need, or carrying way more weight than your trips require and want to shave off a few lbs— a down quilt is the move.

If there's one brand we get asked about all the time, it's Hyperlite Mountain Gear.

And honestly? We get it.

packs are built from Dyneema Composite Fabric — genuinely one of the strongest, lightest materials available for outdoor gear. Waterproof. Bombproof. And remarkably packable for what they carry.

If you're ready to take your kit seriously, this is where most people start. We carry a full selection — from the minimalist daypacks to the 2400 Windrider to the loaded-out Southwest and Unbound 40 & 55's.

Your phone's satellite SOS has one job. The inReach Mini 3 does everything else 📡

Emergency phone SOS via satellite sounds great until you actually need to communicate. Your iPhone gets you found—but the inReach Mini 3 and 3 Plus do SO much more.

🤳🏼 inReach Mini 3: Two-way messaging, SOS, LiveTrack, 1.9" touchscreen. The essentials, but modernized.

🚨 inReach Mini 3 Plus: All of the above - PLUS voice messages, photo sharing, extended messaging (1,660 char) and an upgraded antenna that locks satellites faster in deep canyons and heavy tree cover. Share photos and voice details directly with Garmin Response coordinators during an emergency.

Up to 330 hours of battery. 18,000+ rescues across 150+ countries.

Your phone gets the attention. The inReach gets you home. 🏠
