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.
Hey Thomas,
Thanks for your patience! I just connected with Ben, and he's getting item sent out to you this evening!
We’ve been catching up after the sale on the CS front, but there’s no excuse for the delay in getting back to you.
We appreciate your understanding, and we’re grateful for your continued support of what we do.
Warmly,
Ned
Great store for finding gear and food for backpacking. Good customer service and quick shipments makes for a happy camper.
As always, quick turnaround and fabulous customer service! This is why I always return to GGG
Love this site. Wonder assortment of UL gear. Plus I love supporting local and small businesses. I’ve ordered multiple times without any issues. Will def keep ordering.
Oh my goodness I love this store. There's always new things things you wouldn't even think you needed, and you're like, oh my goodness that would make my time outdoors so much more comfortable.I appreciate you
Garage Grown Gear genuinely values their customers. I really appreciate that they have real people—not AI—for questions too. They’re always kind and bring good vibes. The fast shipping is a great bonus too. This has become my go-to shop, thanks to the variety and how it’s helped me lean more into ultralight gear. Keep it up y’all are all stars!
Glad to shave several ounces off my previous cook system with this order. As always, appreciate the quick order fulfillment and extra goodies tucked in.
So happy GGG exists for my backpacking needs. Love supporting cottage companies.
Hope y’all never go away
Great products, great people, great service, great promotions, great all around.
I have been doing business with you folks for years and every order is a wonderful experience.
Thanks for the great gear and the great service.
Store is great, but the Easter Egg Hunt was underwhelming and mildly disappointing. The concept is fun and exciting, and I'm sure I was a little too excited to get something small that was at least moderately interesting for the Bugs Bunny Easter egg from a store that sells nothing but interesting and cool stuff. Instead, I wound up with a couple of electrolyte packs and a garlic pizza packet. Quite possibly the least exciting or interesting thing they could have included.
Thanks for the feedback—we totally get how the Easter Egg Hunt can build up some big expectations. The mystery gifts are always a bit of a wild card, and while we aim for fun and variety, sometimes the surprise doesn’t land the way we hope. Really appreciate you sharing your thoughts—it helps us make it better next time. Glad you’re part of the community!

Just starting to get into backpacking and hiking and I love the wide selection of everything I would ever need. Plus the Easter egg hunt was fun too
