About Us
FoxtrotGear is a father–daughter–run business built on a simple belief: with endless gear options on the market, people shouldn’t have to waste money, time, or confidence figuring out what actually works.
We specialize in mission-driven gear curation. Whether the goal is thru-hiking, self-reliance, or preparedness, our focus is on building complete, compatible systems — not selling random products. Everything we offer is selected to match real pack volumes, weight limits, and field use so customers don’t have to second-guess their decisions.
Behind FoxtrotGear are thousands of hours spent researching, testing, and analyzing equipment across a wide range of environments and use cases. Price is never the primary filter — performance is. If a product doesn’t justify its space and weight, it doesn’t make the cut.
Every item we carry is carefully hand-selected and evaluated through real-world use, including deployment in A.R.C. (Acclimating Recon & Civilian) training environments. This ensures the gear we sell performs under stress, not just on paper.
FoxtrotGear exists to remove guesswork, reduce compromise, and help people focus on the adventure — not the gear decisions behind it.
