Eleven collections, built around how a trip actually runs — carry it, sleep in it, cook on it, wear it.
New in the range
Built by people who go out in it
We started North Star because the gear we could afford kept quitting a day before we did. Seams that opened in the rain. Zips that seized at altitude. Packs that carried beautifully empty and miserably full.
So we make a smaller range and we make it properly — heavier thread, taped seams, hardware rated well past what a weekend asks of it. Every item here has been carried, slept in or cooked on by somebody on this team before it went on sale.
