Why Off Trail Market
Why shop here instead of brand by brand?
Fair question. You could buy from every one of these makers on their own sites. Here is what you get by starting here.
The maker's price
Makers set their own prices here. You pay what you would pay in their own shop, with no marketplace markup.
One cart, many makers
Build a kit from brands you would otherwise have to track down one at a time, then check out once.

THE OFF TRAIL PROMISE
If it arrives damaged or isn’t as described, we’ll help.
Contact us and we’ll work with the maker to make it right. See our policies for return terms and exceptions.
WE’VE BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Making good gear is hard.
Getting found shouldn’t be.
Jerry and Matt are longtime friends, elk hunting partners, and the people behind Gunnison Gear, their brand of backcountry hunting gear. They know the challenge of getting an independent brand in front of the right people. That’s why they built Off Trail Market.
