Gear Companies & Suppliers that Batstar Use in the Field

At Batstar, we cannot have gear break down while we are on a trip so we choose gear that is well made, dependable and durable. We choose suppliers who have a passion for making gear that works well in remote areas. Batstar guides help evaluate every piece of gear we use and if it isn't "bomber" or "skookum", we simply don't use it. We send feedback and design suggestions to our suppliers on how their gear is performing for us.

There are many companies that are not listed below that we like. We recommend that you go to a professional outdoor outfitter to see and feel gear that you would like to use.

Note: we indicate the gear that we use from each supplier – most have a wide selection of outstanding performance gear.
