Technical packs, weatherproof shells, and trail tools engineered in the Cascades and proven on five continents. Built to outlast the trip.
Load-hauling alpine pack with a roll-top lid and frame-sheet suspension.
Three-layer waterproof hardshell with pit-zips and a helmet-compatible hood.
14-function trail tool in forged stainless — pliers, driver, and fire striker.
800-fill responsibly-sourced down, baffled for sub-zero belays and bivvies.
Trail-day pack with hydration sleeve and quick-stow trekking-pole loops.
Stretch-woven softshell that breathes on the climb and blocks the gusts up top.
Every Summit Ridge product earns its place on a North Cascades proving trip before it ever ships. If it can't take a season of granite, sleet, and 40-pound loads, it doesn't get a name.
"Carried the Traverse 45 up Rainier and across the Wind Rivers in the same summer. Soaked, frozen, dropped on scree — it came home looking better than my boots."
Get route-tested gear picks and first access to limited alpine runs. No noise, one email a month.
Everything else
Every pack we have ever sold is repairable, forever, by us. Zip, buckle, strap or fabric. You pay shipping one way and nothing else.
Torso length matters more than your height. Measure from the C7 vertebra to the top of your hips and use that number, not your shirt size.
Free over $99 in the US, otherwise $9. Orders in by 2pm Mountain go out the same day.
Ninety days, and you can take it outside first. Gear returned with dirt on it is inspected, repaired and sold in the Field Team section at a discount.
We started making shells because everything waterproof we owned had delaminated by its third season. The first jacket had one seam taped by hand, badly, and it still works.
Repair before recycling, recycling before replacement. We publish the repair count every year because it is the only number that actually measures whether a thing lasted.
Thirty-one guides and patrollers who get gear early and tell us what broke. Their returns are the reason the hip belt changed twice.
