What Accessories Come with Your Gear—and What You'll Want to Buy Separately

Great question. Whether you're gearing up for a dawn patrol on the mountain bike trails, a multi-day hike, or a deep powder day on your snowboard, knowing what comes in the box—and what you might want to add—is key to a smooth adventure. We design our products to be complete, durable, and easy to use right out of the gate. But we also get that the right accessories can extend the life of your gear and make your experience better. Here's the breakdown by category.

The Philosophy: Ready for Adventure, Built to Last

Our core promise is to remove friction from spending time outdoors. So when you buy a product from us, we intend it to be fully functional and adventure-ready from your first use. We think hard about what you'll need versus what you might want for specialized situations. Our focus is on delivering well-crafted products that help you have memorable experiences without unnecessary complexity. But we also know that adventures evolve, gear sees hard use, and personalization is part of the fun.

What's Typically Included: The Adventure-Ready Kit

For most of our core products, we include the essential components for immediate use. Our design ethos prioritizes simplicity and durability, so you won't end up with a bag of confusing, flimsy parts that need replacing right away.

• Protective Gear (e.g., Snow Helmets, Goggles): When you buy a helmet, it comes with a complete, pre-installed retention system and comfortable, moisture-wicking interior padding. Our goggles include a high-quality, optically correct lens suited for a wide range of conditions, plus a protective goggle bag. The goal is to get you from the couch to the chairlift without a second thought.
• Technical Gear (e.g., Trekking Poles, Hammocks): Our trekking poles are sold as a complete pair, with adjustable mechanisms, comfortable grips, and durable carbide tips installed. Our hammocks famously include our quick-connect suspension system right in the bag—no need to buy separate straps. It's all about spending more time in your hammock than hanging it up.
• Electronics-Compatible Gear: For gear designed to integrate with electronics—like certain helmets with audio compatibility or camera mounts—we often include the basic, universal interface components. Our aim is to make sure core functionality is never an extra purchase.

Commonly Sold Separately: For Personalization, Upgrades, and Longevity

This is where you can tailor your kit to your specific adventures. These accessories aren't required for basic use, but they're designed to enhance performance, comfort, or convenience.

1. Replacement Pads & Liners

Why Separate? Hygiene, fit customization, and wear-and-tear. After seasons of sweat, sunscreen, and shared adventures, helmet pads and goggle liners can use a refresh. Replacement kits let you restore that like-new comfort and hygiene—a more enduring choice than replacing the whole product.

2. Specialized Lenses & Lens Kits

Why Separate? Light conditions change. A bright, sunny morning on the ski hill can turn into a flat-light afternoon. While our included lenses are versatile, dedicated low-light, mirror, or storm lenses can dramatically improve visibility and safety. Our goggle lens systems are designed for quick, tool-free swaps, so you can build a lens quiver tailored to the forecast.

3. Charging Cables & Power Solutions

Why Separate? Standardization and redundancy. We use common, durable connection types for any integrated electronics to ensure compatibility with the charging setups you likely already own. We may offer ruggedized, longer-length cables separately for those who want a dedicated, adventure-proof cable for their pack. Our focus is on long battery life and simple charging.

4. Carry, Storage, & Protection

Why Separate? While many products come with a basic stuff sack, upgraded storage solutions make a difference. A padded goggle case with a hard shell, a dedicated helmet carry bag with separate compartments, or a heavy-duty dry bag can better organize your pack and protect your investment on the go.

5. Performance Upgrades & Replacement Parts

Why Separate? This is for the enthusiast who wants to tweak their setup. Think replacement trekking pole tips (rubber for pavement, snow baskets for winter hiking), stronger or lighter suspension components, or spare parts for adjustment mechanisms. Providing easy access to small, high-wear components is a commitment to enduring design, so you can maintain and love your gear for years.

How to Know What You Need

Before you buy any accessory, check the product description—it will list every item included in the package. Ask yourself a few key questions:

1. What are my specific conditions? (e.g., "I only ski on bright Colorado days" vs. "I hike in the misty Pacific Northwest.")
2. How do I use my gear? (e.g., "I ride my mountain bike hard and sweat a lot" vs. "I need a simple setup for casual camping.")
3. What's my long-term plan? Investing in a spare lens or replacement pads now can save money and hassle later.

We build gear to be your reliable companion on the journey. The accessories we offer separately come from our own experiences on the trail and the mountain—they're the thoughtful additions that help you explore comfortably, safely, and on your own terms. Now get out there and find the hardly found.
