If you hang around the Garage Grown Gear corner of the internet, you might know of our fearless leader and CEO, Lloyd Vogel! He shared his passion for supporting outdoor cottage industry on the Backpacking Light Podcast last week.
Lloyd and Backpacking Light's Ryan Jordan discussed...
- What is a cottage brand?
- How does GGG work with ultralight cottage brands?
- How cottage brands are often the creators of the latest innovations
- Challenges and opportunities of being a cottage brand
- GGG's role in fostering the community of cottage outdoor brands
- How Lloyd got into the outdoor industry and ultralight backpacking
- & a lot more!
They mention some of the 200+ brands we carry at GGG like Mayfly sandals, BoglerCo, Taos Bakes, and the crop of small brands making hoodies with sought-after Polartec Alpha fabric. Lloyd also offers up some of the latest trends he's seeing in the ultralight cottage industry as a whole.
We at Garage Grown Gear are so proud and humbled to be the hub for ultralight cottage brands, and we love sharing this with the world!

This podcast is a wealth of knowledge. I am increasingly impressed with the number of GGG resources available for both customers and cottage companies, bringing them together in an authentic and fun way. Thank you for everything that you do, and keep up the great work.
