Durston

Durston gear is designed by Dan Durston in the heart of the Canadian Rockies with a focus on creating backcountry gear that genuinely improves your adventure through lighter weights, greater simplicity, and increased protection.

Dan has been a hiker, gear geek, and adventurer for over 20 years. He has amassed hundreds of nights in the outdoors and written thousands of technical gear posts in ultralight online communities like BackpackingLight.com and r/Ultralight. Never content with the status quo, Dan was building his own gear for over a decade before he started this company, including building one of the first Dyneema tents back in 2009 before most other companies working with DCF even existed.
