We test where the trail ends.
Every Summit Ridge product goes on a North Cascades trip with us before it ships. If it can't take a season of granite, sleet and heavy loads, it doesn't get a name.
We started making shells because everything waterproof we owned had delaminated by its third season.
- Free repairs on every pack, for life. You pay shipping one way.
- Returns within ninety days, even if you took it outside first.
- Packs are sized by torso length, not height. We will help you measure.

"Carried the Traverse all summer. Soaked, frozen, dropped on scree, and it came home looking better than my boots."
