The story of Good Wolf Gear starts, as many good stories often do, in the woods.
We won a camping experience hosted by our kids' school. The annual camping trip at Bear's Den, was led by one of the other parents, Bruce. We hadn't done any family camping up until that point.
Bruce set up the tent, sleeping bags, chairs, and even gave us walking sticks. Without Bruce, we would quite literally have been lost. In fact, we may not have even spent the night—missing all of the magic.
Bruce helped his neighbor get outside.
He shared his gear, and his experience. That night around the campfire, all of the families shared their stories.
Since then, we’ve remained on a mission to return the favor. To inspire others to experience the outdoors, comfortably, safely, and responsibly.

Meet Gibbous
Gibbous is the Good Wolf Gear Mascot.
Named for the phase of the moon that is more than half-illuminated, Gibbous is optimistic and always ready for adventure. He truly is a "moon half-full" kinda wolf.
Every adventure needs a guide. Look for Gibbous in-store, and online, if you're in need of direction.
