Testimonials!

Fantastic selection, awesome customer service and fast shipping. What more could you ask for?

Had an issue with mail theft. With help from Nolan and Ben, I got my order replaced and even got an "upgrade" to a Mesa bag from Backcountry Exposure as the bag from my original order was out of stock.
Guys, I can't thank you enough for your kind assistance during a really rough time. Kudos to all at Garage Grown Gear, I can't wait to get out and try my new gear!

One of the best companies out there!

That being said, a competition between food companies to see who can make the best "Actually Sweet and Creamy, not black coffee with a dash of creamer and sugar" instant coffee 3 in 1 mix could be beneficial.

Who better to throw the idea at than Garage Grown?
Pssst- Tell those food companies to fill the niche, and give us hikers sweet creamy coffee 😉

I have thought GGG was a cool store right from the start, but my experience with their customer service blew my socks off. I was astounded by how quick, responsive, and problem-solving Ben G was when he reached back out to me. My shipment got lost in the annals of USPS, and I was nervous about all my food getting here in time to ship off my resupply (which would have been in a few days), so I reached out to customer service to express my concern. The very next business day, GGG reached out to let me know that they would send a replacement for me. I was speechless. In this day and age it's hard to get any company to pay attention to a concern, let alone offer an immediate solution.
GGG goes above and beyond and they have earned a customer for LIFE!!!!! Best customer experience, best gear, best store.

I recently purchased 2 new water bottles. The packages arrived safely, on time and in excellent condition. The bottles first my hydration tube and Sawyer filter. I appreciate the effort from small businesses! Thanks GGG!

Useful, dependable, unique products enhancing backcountry trips & adventures. Food selection is outstanding! Over the years I've been delighted by GGG's offerings, selection, and service. Have provisioned many a trip from GGG.

This year I decided to revamp my backpacking kit and roughly 80% of it comes from GGG and I am already loving all of it. I love their support of small businesses and the gear they carry, they have everything you could ever need! I started with looking for a new sleep system, I now also have ultralight camp shoes and more. Can’t recommend this store enough, I just placed my second order in only a few weeks. Thank you to whoever is diligently packing my gear! <3

Love what you do and access to so many great small companies making cool stuff! Fantastic selection of gear and awesome customer service to back it up. Thank you!

I've bought a few items from GGG in the past and have always been very satisfied. I recently messed up an order over a long holiday weekend. I knew it was a long shot but since it hadn't shipped yet, I gave it a try and emailed cust. service. I have never had a problem with anything in the past so I was not too sure how responsive they would be.
But Ben was able to catch it, correct it to what I wanted, and it will be here tomorrow.
Keep up the good work!

I’ve used this site for years now, they got all the best ultra lite gear the big brand stores and sites never have. Good prices, good and fast shipping and no head aches. This business is also quick to respond over customer support email and such which is critical when on a long hike. And they have great quantity selection and price breaks on larger quantity orders like with the nyloflume bag liners. Can’t think of a bad thing to say about this site.

I signed up for my longest backpacking trip yet and was looking to find somewhere to buy upgraded ultralight (UL) gear for the first time. Love that I found this website where you can buy from small brands and in small quantities! I'm not trying to contribute to overconsumption and pay money to big brands when I don't absolutely have to, and finding GGG was incredible. You can order like one golf pencil for $0.30 and not be stuck with a pack of 50 from Amazon. I ordered the usual grab of ultralight gear for my upcoming JMT hike: kula cloth, dyneema bags, UL pillow, UL carabiners, toothpaste tablets, powder soap, power bank, etc. I think I got like 12 UL/ backpacking things for maybe like $150 during a sale?! Incredible! Once everything arrived, they had even thrown in a UL sit pad for me, which was great because I was planning to get one of these anyway!! :) Loved my experience buying from GGG and I'm sending my trail buddies the link to this site immediately.
Thanks! 5 stars!

Love this umbrella. Light weight, cuts the sun & heat!!! I purchased 3 as gifts for friends. It's really sunny in Ca. They love them!

Garage Grown Gear is hands down the best place to get ultralight gear. Their service is great, the brands they carry are amazing. This a great company for the backpacking community.

We purchased 2 sit pads about 6 months ago to use during our winter outings. I believe I reviewed them positively shortly after getting them but now that we've had them longer I want to review again and say I LOVE THEM! We don't only use them in the winter, they are so light we take them everywhere and it makes it easy to find a sit spot, even where we hike: off trail, sharp rocks, etc. They also seem pretty durable, they stood up to our abuse so far. I just ordered 4 more, to give a couple as gifts and to have backups for when we finally break them. I'm glad I found these.

Great equipment selection - some really specialized stuff, that's hard to find. Then excellent customer service to back it all up! Highly recommend.

I love this shop so much. It's so important to support smaller businesses and to have a small business dedicated to this mission is incredible. The gear and food are high quality, and I always feel confident in my purchases. I also really appreciate the vegan food section. So many options and everything I've tried so far has been honestly so good! Keep up the good work folks!

How could you not buy gear after seeing Lloyd. Knowledgeable and affable. The gear is legit as I’ve used everything I’ve purchased on the AT. AND GGG supports small businesses. A win all the way around.

I’ve bought through GGG several times in-person, and each time the staff has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Selection of smaller brands and outfitters product lines is unmatched and the customer service is there to back it. Always will recommend these guys, they’re the best at it

I've only ordered twice through Garage Grown Gear but each time it's been so easy, and they ship so fast! I love all the cottage brands they feature. I also like they have some budget friendly items too. As I continue to build my ideal backpacking kit, Garage Grown Gear is quickly becoming my first stop. I'm so glad I found y'all!

I am preparing for an upcoming thru hike and pretty new to backpacking so I have a lot to buy. Everything I have ordered has shipped quickly and been great quality. Love supporting a small business. Great service - they were even willing to honor a sale price on something I purchased before a sale. Love the handwritten note in every shipment. Thanks GGG :o)

I have been re-tooling my gear for the summer of 2025. Garage Grown Gear was a company that I was aware of when it first started. I was hoping that they would flourish and here they are. Great prices, selection of gear and just a great service. Love them!!!!

the Entire process was outstanding and left me with a strong sense of confidence about Garage Grown Gear. Aside from the actual products (which hit every expectation I had)...shopping with GGG made me feel good.... I don't think I have ever said that about a retail experience!!!

Everything was shipped to the UK very quickly and securely! Got a little note from "Cam" thanking me for my order and also found a garlic pizza packet in my order(?) I don't know if that was intentional or from Cam's lunch? Either way it made me chuckle... I don't know what to do with it haha.
I would like it if GGG could look into talking to their clothing suppliers into having larger size options (I'm a size 20UK) then I can definately see myself spending a couple hundred more on this site in the future!

I seriously love GGG. They carry super solid gear from small brands you don’t see everywhere. Everything I’ve ordered has been top quality, and their team is just awesome. Great service, fast shipping, and they actually care. It’s one of the few places today that still feels personal.

I have ordered and have been appreciative of the attention to detail received from GGG. I recently had an issue with an order and for 2 days I have not received any response. Checked Spam, etc. Having a toll free number would be helpful.
