We’re beyond stoked have teamed up with Backpacker Magazine and Garage Grown Gear for the Cottage Gear Giveaway, which happened October 22 – November 4!
Here's what it was all about! Sorry we didn't post about it here before it was all over!
🏕 What’s the Cottage Gear Giveaway?
It’s a two-week celebration of the dreamers, makers, and garage tinkerers who keep the outdoors wild and the gear innovative. Every brand involved is independently owned, fueled by passion, and probably powered by way too much coffee. ☕
This is your chance to discover your new favorite brands — and maybe snag some free gear while you’re at it.

🎁 What You Could Win
We’re giving away a bundle of Alpine Fit favorites — adventure-ready layers made for comfort, warmth, and zero stink. Perfect for hikes, travel, or that 3-day weekend escape you keep daydreaming about.
💡 Pro tip: There are prizes from over 50+ cottage brands, so the odds are almost as good as your next summit view.

🌲 Why We’re So Excited
We love being part of a community that creates gear with soul — not mass production lines. From tiny Alaskan workspaces to backyard workshops across the country, this giveaway celebrates the heart of the cottage industry: innovation, sustainability, and the pure love of adventure.
This won't be the last giveaway - check back with us in the future to join the fun, meet some amazing makers, and maybe score your next favorite piece of gear.
Adventure’s better when it’s built by dreamers.
