WE HAVE A VISION

Connecting People To The Outdoors

This is the most important thing we do

We deliver award-winning gear straight to you without investor or retail markups.

We tenaciously pursue the design of performance ultralight gear and sell it directly to you without the extra fees of investors, middlemen or retail markups so you can spend more time outdoors pushing, learning and growing.

By changing from the traditional way of doing business & selling directly to you we cut 40-50% out of the price tag of products sold through retail stores.

The OV Way...

    Performance First

    No matter what the cost, we focus on exactly what we need to build ultralight gear that performs exceptionally in its intended use-case. Outdoor Vitals gear does exactly what it's supposed to do, & it does it better!

  • Inspiring Confidence Through Experience

    We want our followers to have absolute confidence in their gear & in themselves. Not only do we test our own gear, but we make it a point to learn all we can about ultralight backpacking so we can share it with you!

  • Direct Customer Connection

    Our team is composed of outdoor enthusiasts just like you! We get it, and we want to help. Since our gear is only available directly through us, there are no retail markups, & we have a direct communication line where it really matters.

"Absolutely happy with it after over using it for over 500 miles on the PCT!"

"The zipper up the middle of the outside pocket makes access to interior during breaks easy. Best of all, no low back pain with this pack."

Nola - Shadowlight Backpack

"Temperature range started in the low 60s and fell to 34 during the night and early morning. The Zulu worked great with just a light mid layer! It definitely has earned the spot as my go to jacket!"
