Testimonials!

I’ve ordered from Garage Grown Gear a few times now, and every experience has been awesome. The shipping is quick, the customer service is super responsive, and I love knowing I’m supporting small, cottage brands. It’s honestly refreshing to shop somewhere that actually cares about the outdoor community. Definitely my go-to for ultralight gear now!

I have received a conformation of my second order of a large zenbivy 10 degree sleeping bag for the same price as the first order. This proves that the web site we order from MAY be different from that which GGG uses for dissputes.

I ordered a large zenbivey bag and was charged for a large zenbivy bay but was sent a regular. I notified GGG and they say the website has different prices than the website I am looking at. As a test to see if they are avoiding being fair I ordered another zenbivey bag large and payed the same as the first time. I will report back to what bull poo the throw next.

Everything I've bought from GGG has been great. Highly recommended!
I'm new to ultralight. I wrote to GGG for pack advice and I got an email the same day suggesting a backpack I hadn't even been considering. I ordered 3 packs, returned 2, and the one I like best is the one GGG suggested, by Virginia Foothill Designs. Great customer service.

I stop in every few months to check out the best sellers and always end up filling my cart. I always find practical items that I end up using and I like knowing that I'm helping the cottage brands. Lloyd and his team seem like great people too so it's a win-win all around.

As a novice hiker and camper, I spent a lot of time researching the best gear—especially since I have a weak knee and need to prioritize ultralight options. Ultralight gear has been a game-changer, making it possible for me to fully enjoy the outdoors.

Garage Grown Gear has become my go-to shop for nearly all of my equipment. Their shipping is super fast, their customer service is incredibly friendly, and they carry unique gear you won’t find anywhere else. It’s an easy choice for all my outdoor adventure needs, and I've been recommending it to my friends, family, and people I meet within my local outdoor community.

One of my favorite things about ordering from them is picking up the box and being surprised by how light it is—only to open it and see just how much I got. Ultralight gear truly goes above and beyond! I can't wait to try out more new products!

Super fast shipping, great gear you don’t seem to find anywhere else. Gotta love a small company too!

They have a lot of cool stuff you just can't find most other places, especially when you don't live in a hiking town, as well as some staple items. I have really enjoyed the products I have purchased. While I am not an UL'er some of these items have helped me shave off quite a bit a weight. Since I found this site, I have purchased from here over other platforms for several items. I don't have as much guilt buying from this online store as I do buying from amazon or other big stores. I really like the mission of this company.

I've known them since their inception. I've been revamping my gear and was excited to use them. I cannot recommend them more. Awesome

I love this store and buy from it frequently. Well made, innovative products. Fair prices. This store serves to connect the hiker/camper community to small businesses that make good ideas come true. If GGG could only give me more stamina . . . .

I read your email announcement and of course I will do what it takes to place an order! I was ready to download or order the catalog! Hahahahaha!!
Good prank!

I don’t usually leave reviews, but GGG went out of their way to resolve a very simple issue that most companies would have probably not spent the time to do. That alone will make me a repeat customer…The red pepper flakes and ramen noodle stickers were an extra bonus!

Thank you, GGG, for helping us prepare for our big through hike. We "found you" through a chance meeting and chat with a fellow backpacker on a little used trail. And what a find it was - much easier than multiple orders from multiple small retailers. We have already tested out a few items from your site on shorter trips. Your customer service, delivery speed, and information on UL gear and consumables have had a major impact on getting our kits dialed in and the pack weights down. We are recommending you to all of our trail friends (and snagged a few gift cards for a few of them, too)!

Good product

Alpine ice climbing and backpacking for 52 years now. You have a wonderful collection of hard to find, interesting and useful gear. And your just a mile or so from where I grew up as a kid, keep it up!

I so enjoy strolling through your pages and picking out items that are interesting to me and will give me an opportunity to try out this summer. Always looking for that something that serves a purpose, I am a gear head for sure, and running out of room here.

I’ve followed GGG for years but never ordered. Finally had a good reason to order several small items. Rather than ordering from multiple small retailers I was able to place just one order. Good communication from the beginning of the order until delivery. Great and prompt service.

Unique and Awesome gear you can’t find just anywhere and they have it all. I love all the ultra light gadgets that are available. This is great equipment at a fair price for any minimalist!

Thanks GGG

Sincerely,

Brett

Basically the title!

Easy to find stuff, the stuff is all competitively priced and is of the highest quality.

Would love to see some more cottage companies supported here in the future, f*ck amazon! Let’s give the money to each other!

A magical place for all hiking/camping gear I didn't know I needed. Such a vast collection of gear from garage companies. I will definitely be keeping an eye on this site.

GGG is brand new to me as I prepare for the PCT 2025! Website has tons of products, many which are from smaller companies and specialized items. Also, each product lists so much critical and detailed information! I love the videos of items as it helps show size and configuration. I have learned so much reviewing so many items. Such a valuable resource.
Customer service has been great while I have placed a handful of orders as I gear up for the trip.
Thank you so much!

I have been shopping here at GGG for several years. Amazing prices and honestly the best place to find backpacking gadgets. Always finding something new to try and have never been disappointed. I appreciate this company and will support and share as much as possible. Thank you GGG!

Since I began Section Hiking the AT GGG has been my best bet for all of my Ultralight hiking needs! The timely shipping is also an added bonus.

The selection is amazing and full of the type of gear I like to use.

These guys are awesome. They have almost everything and when I need (or think I need) a new piece of gear, even if to test something out, I usually head over to GGG. They've got a bunch of stuff at awesome prices that are hard to pass up, and a lot of high end stuff too. I think this is my fourth purchase from GGG and I love the little hand-written notes that accompany my package that gets delivered to my door. Can't wait to try out the new cooking pot, titanium spoon, Flip Fuel transfer device, CNOC bottle, and more. Thanks GGG for the great gear selections and friendly prices with a personal touch. Definitely recommend.
