We make the gear we need and couldn’t find anywhere else
– cool, sturdy, and designed for big, active guys.
Hi, my name is Chris Compton, CEO & Founder of Clydesdale Gear. I'm also a big guy who likes to stay active.
Being big often means struggling to find the right fit and settling for clothes, gear, and other items that don't last and don't feel good. That's why we design everything with your comfort in mind – so you never have to settle for less again.
Feeling good is the starting point, but let's be honest… looking good is nearly as important. That's why everything from our Enduro Pack to our upcoming Mechanics Stool offers a clean but well-thought-out design.
It's all in our name. The gear we create is built to be as strong as a Clydesdale; built large, but able to do everything a smaller, faster horse can do. You have peace of mind knowing that your investment is worthwhile and your gear will take you through all of your adventures.

I created Clydesdale Gear out of frustration after decades of trying to find gear that works for me, looked good, and, most importantly, didn't break.
If you're a big guy like me, you know that few options are available for people like us compared to regular-sized guys. It either doesn't fit right, is uncomfortable, doesn't look all that great, or doesn't last very long.
I love motorcycle riding, camping, hiking, surfing, and building hot rods – all activities that require strong, quality gear.
I got tired of spending good money on things that didn't last.
It started with countless broken camping chairs, ill-fitting hiking boots, and enduro packs that make riding uncomfortable. For years, I’ve searched for a brand built for big, active guys like me. That brand didn't exist.
Until now.
I began working with a team of expert designers to bring my vision to life – a line built with quality, designed to last, and made comfortable for people of any size.
So whether you need larger, sturdier gear or are just tired of low-quality products that make your favorite activities uncomfortable, Clydesdale Gear is here for you.
– Chris Compton
