Founded by Kyle Willis, High Mountain Gear was started as an attempt to fix his own gear with a sewing machine. To keep gear out of landfills, Kyle started fixing other people's gear, too. Fixing soon led to creating, and before long, Kyle was making his own products to fill gaps in the market at a reasonable price and High Mountain Gear was born.

Our gear is made right here in Washington State, with a nod to Mother Nature- we use as much recycled material as we can.

We make reliable equipment for guides, skiers, and climbers who live their lives outdoors.

Everything we make is built to order, by hand, so some items ship in short windows and others are pre-ordered against a set deadline. Either way, the product page tells you exactly what to expect — check the item description for its ship date before you order.
