ABOUT US
Outperform The Wild
At Rival Mountain Gear, we don't just make gear — we live it.
Born in the rugged terrain of the American West, Rival was founded by hunters and back-country adventurers who demand more from their equipment. Every piece of gear we design is built with one goal in mind: to outperform everything else in the wild. From multi-day packs to goose down sleeping bags and ultra-durable gaiters, our products are tested where it matters most — in the unforgiving back country, not a boardroom.
We believe the best gear doesn’t just keep up — it pushes you further. That's why we obsess over performance, reliability, and design that serves a real purpose. Whether you're scaling alpine ridges or glassing desert canyons, Rival Mountain Gear is built to go further, last longer, and never let you down.
We’re not chasing trends. We’re chasing elk, bears, and high ground — and we’re bringing gear that’s worthy of the pursuit.
WHY RIVAL GEAR?
Rival Mountain Gear is built for those who refuse to settle — for those who demand gear as uncompromising and capable as they are. This isn’t about blending in; it’s about standing apart with quiet confidence and undeniable presence.
