STORE

After 8 years online, we took the plunge and opened up a retail store front in Tempe Arizona late in 2010.  Of course you can rent anything at our store you can online, but on the retail side we specialize in ultralight, but practical backpacking gear.  Some of that new gear is available here online as well.  See more photos and take advantage of weekly specials on our Facebook page (see below). 

1828 East University Drive (at McClintock)
Tempe, AZ 85281

Open Mon-Fri 9ish to 6ish
Saturday 10 - 4.

We're about a mile east of ASU in Tempe, not far either way from the intersection of the 101 and 202 Freeways. From our 5,000' + facility, we operate our national rental business as well as our local and internet retail sales.

We have some top quality footware no one else in town has, and in fact we represent a number of smaller, high-quality specialized brands that don't always appeal to the big box retailers. We're looking for quality and innovation, not mass appeal to the lowest common denominator. But that doesn't mean it's expensive!

Of course we have a huge selection of backpacks, but also a broad selection of sleeping gear. Plus some really neat wall and window art. Come check it out!
