Silver Shadow Umbrella
The Silver Shadow Series provides a large reflective surface on top to deflect sunlight and a black underside to absorb wandering rays, allowing you to walk cooler and better protected. Its coating sheds water easily, eliminating the need to wear sweaty rain gear.
Swift X Backpack
Our award winning backpack designed with thru-hiking in mind.
Haven Ultralight Tent
The Haven Ultralight Tent now includes the Haven Tarp and the Haven NetTent, formerly called the Haven Bundle.

"The Gatewood Cape is and has been and continues to be the best piece of backcountry gear there is. Nothing on the market is more innovative, better designed, and tougher. I will defend this till the end."
"I purchased the Solo back in 2004 and I have watched every light weight tent come in the last fifteen years. The Lunar Solo is still my go to tent for any backpacking trip."
"The Swift X is a unique innovative pack that should be on any gear junkie’s radar. If you’re looking at all the options out there, this one should be on the list because it is made to carry differently by a guy trying to figure out how to hike comfortably after a bout with cancer. Move over Lunar Solo: SMD may just have a new #1 piece of gear."
