Great products, great people, great service, great promotions, great all around.
I have been doing business with you folks for years and every order is a wonderful experience.
Thanks for the great gear and the great service.
Store is great, but the Easter Egg Hunt was underwhelming and mildly disappointing. The concept is fun and exciting, and I'm sure I was a little too excited to get something small that was at least moderately interesting for the Bugs Bunny Easter egg from a store that sells nothing but interesting and cool stuff. Instead, I wound up with a couple of electrolyte packs and a garlic pizza packet. Quite possibly the least exciting or interesting thing they could have included.
Thanks for the feedback—we totally get how the Easter Egg Hunt can build up some big expectations. The mystery gifts are always a bit of a wild card, and while we aim for fun and variety, sometimes the surprise doesn’t land the way we hope. Really appreciate you sharing your thoughts—it helps us make it better next time. Glad you’re part of the community!

Just starting to get into backpacking and hiking and I love the wide selection of everything I would ever need. Plus the Easter egg hunt was fun too
I’ve been a long time fan of GGG, they truly were the roadmap for my journey into ultralight gear last year. From tents, bear canisters, ditty bags, toothbrushes, ultralight tents and even merino wool underwear?! Regardless of how small, handy, thrifty, all the way to investment-level items; They provide a range for any hiker on any budget, and I love seeing that from this company. Not to mention working with small companies that are owned and operated by fellow backpackers! In a world that is disappearing small businesses left and right, we love to see the community support!
Btw, spring/summer always has fun little deals, like today I purchased stuff through their Easter Egg hunt w/ free gear & discounts, like how cute??
Anyways, much love to GGG and thanks for the goodies! Weather in the PNW is getting so nice, time for another adventure!
Great selection. Very eclectic collection. I love this gear. Thanks.
this is by far the best place for backpacking and ultralight hiking gear. I love this store. And love how they give a platform for people that are making gearing in their home and getting a start to making a business for them selves. Win win win for everyone.
Finally. That was my first thought when I found GGG. Quality products throughout only, no junk here. I found a lot of gear I didn’t even knew existed as well. This is truly a hikers haven!
Yay Ben of GGG has issued a return label, I have packed and posted the regular, and await the large quilt to arrive.
Outdoorsist for decades, so I got in the habit of value shopping a long time ago for the best balance of weight/quality/price that works best for this Old Fat Fart. I do lots of research before making my purchases, and since its inception, I inevitably find myself back at GGG’s site. While I don’t always make my purchases from them, them seem to get a decent amount of my orders and I’m always extremely happy with everything from the shopping experience, the selections, great customer service, to the delivery and product. For the most part, if I’m not ordering direct, then odds are I’m buying used or from GGG.
I searched for the best place to find the best gear for my needs. GGG has never disappointed. They have a great selection of usable, yet funky, awesome gear. I will continue to be a customer.
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.
Hey there,
Thanks for reaching out — and sorry for the confusion. I looked into your orders and wanted to clarify:
Your first order was for a regular-sized convertible 2024 quilt, which we shipped. The second was for a large non-convertible quilt. Though they differ in size and style, they’re priced the same — likely the source of the confusion. The convertible version includes extra features, which explains the similar price despite being smaller.
It looks like you ordered two different types without realizing it — an easy mix-up with all the Zenbivy options. The good news: the quilt you were expecting is already on its way!
If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out at help@garagegrowngear.com.
Warmly,
Ben
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)!
