MISSION AND PURPOSE
We all start out adventure with a purpose and a mission to get to the finish line, whatever that looks like.
Our mission is to create honest, functional gear that supports people in pushing their limits - physically and personally.
Our purpose is to continue to design and deliver high-performance, adaptable, and affordable gear for long-distance runners, trekkers, and outdoor athletes.
Keep your eyes peeled (and subscribed to our mailing list) for new product releases.
KIT THAT KEEPS UP WITH YOUR JOURNEY
We're a small team, and we care about making gear that works. That's it. No flashy branding. No gimmicks.
Every detail on our vest exists for a reason.
If something's awkward or annoying, we change it. If people send feedback, we listen.
Some of our best ideas come from customers swearing at their old gear.
We’re not trying to chase trends or impress gear reviewers. We want to make great products for people who like being outside. Making it affordable and functional.
HOW IT STARTED
At 31, our founder was hit with unexpected heart problems and needed surgery. While training for a 100km charity hike, he bought a high-end vest that did the job but felt overpriced.
That moment sparked a plan. Build better products for a fairer price. Strong, simple, and made for people who like to keep moving.
Now, we’re building a brand that blends high-quality design with accessible pricing.
A letter from our Founder
Every step forward has a story. Ours is grounded in experience and powered by resilience.
Hey, I’m Ryan - founder of Trekkrs and this is my story.
A couple of years ago, life hit pause. In my early 30s, with a young family and an active lifestyle, I suddenly found myself facing a serious heart condition.
A weird feeling in my chest, a quick ECG on my smartwatch, and suddenly I was on a journey I hadn’t planned. Fast forward and I was fiitted with a pacemaker and navigating the unknown.
But recovery gave me purpose. I wanted to build my strength again - so I start building up my fitness. Slowly at first, then longer.
Eventually, I trained for a 100km hike, choosing to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation, who were incredible to me and my family during recovery and navigating the whole thing.
Along the way, though, I kept hitting a frustrating wall: the gear just didn’t make sense.
Running packs were either uncomfortable, impractical, or overpriced. Pockets got in the way. The straps didn’t fit right. Waterproofing failed. I thought: why isn’t there a better option for people like me, pushing our limits but wanting gear that keeps up?
So I designed one. That’s how Trekkrs was born - a lifestyle brand creating functional, honest, and well-designed products for runners, trekkers, and endurance athletes.
We make gear that works, because we know what it’s like when things don’t.
Thanks for being part of the journey.
Ryan
Founder, Trekkrs
