Our Mission

At Pine Tree Gear, our mission is to deliver ultralight performance at an everyday price. Frustrated by big brands charging premium prices for gear that didn’t justify the cost, we started Pine Tree Gear from a small college apartment bedroom in Fort Collins CO. with a simple goal: make honest, handcrafted ultralight backpacking gear that more people can actually afford. Every piece is built by hand, designed with purpose, and tested where it matters, outside, so weight stays low, performance stays high, and prices stay fair.
