About

About Outside Index

A free list of small independent outdoor gear makers in Canada and the USA.

What it is

Outside Index lists small workshops that design and make their own outdoor gear: packs, bike bags, shelters, sleep gear, climbing kit, bike parts and clothing. Every Visit link goes to the maker’s own website, with ?ref=outsideindex added so the maker can see where the visit came from. We do not sell anything.

How listings are chosen

Every shop is checked by hand from its own website. We list gear the shop designs and makes itself. Resellers and copies are not listed. Each row says what the shop makes, where it is and where it ships, as stated on its site. The date above the list shows the last check.
