Our Story
We got tired of replacing gear that didn’t need replacing. So we built smarter solutions from what already exists — right here in Mamaroneck, New York.
See it in action
Outdoor Innovation builds ultralight upgrades for the gear you already own. Less weight. Better performance. Longer life. Everything starts in the field and is built locally in Mamaroneck, New York.

“The future of outdoor gear is not more of it. It is smarter use of what you already trust.”
01
Upcycled
Every material decision begins with one question: can we upcycle this?

Made in USA
Prototyped and built in small runs alongside local partners in the Hudson Valley.

Field-Tested
Every idea is tested outside in real conditions before it reaches our workshop.
04
Sustainable
Less waste. Longer gear life. No unnecessary complexity.
Our full story
Outdoor Innovation started with a simple pattern. The gear we trusted mostly worked — it just failed in small ways when it mattered most. Wind where it shouldn’t be. Weight that adds up by mile eight.
Instead of asking people to start over, we design ways to improve what is already working. Less weight. Better performance. Longer life.
As a venture studio, we also partner with founders, designers, and builders to bring new outdoor ideas to life — from early concepts to market-ready products.
