Sierra Madre's Name
Sierra Madre is a mountain range that stretches from Arizona to Honduras, joining two dynamic cultures and providing incredible adventures to all who dare to enjoy her! We believe this symbol of adventure and culture well represents our company.
The Team
We're a crew of rogue gear junkies that have set out to change the world!
We're addicted to experiencing the wild, without sacrificing comfort or protection. We don't just sell gear, we create it, we use it and we tweak it till it's perfect! We are consumed with innovation and pushing the limits of what is possible.
The Story
After spending months traveling the world, our founder Richard Rhett was confronted with two profound problems, the gear he was using didn't cut it and the astounding number of people living in our world without clean drinking water was unacceptable. Richard decided to begin creating gear that would protect campers regardless of bad weather and provide comfortable nights of sleep regardless of location, he would then use these desirable products as a tool to circle back and begin fighting the water crisis one well at a time! So in 2010 Sierra Madre was born and since then we've come a long way - but really, we're just getting started!
