Essential Gear, Inc. was established in 1995 by veteran outdoor enthusiasts
highly experienced in the development of a wide range of outdoor equipment. Our mission is to create new High-Tech Survival Tools that are based on cutting edge technology that withstand the most demanding use in extreme weather conditions. A highly selective process is used to meet this goal.
The primary qualities sought are:
* Design – Innovative use of new technology to significantly improve upon
previous outdoor products.
* Quality – A commitment to the highest quality achievable.
* Engineering – A commitment to innovate through constant improvement and re-engineering to continually improve the quality and function of our
patented products.
The “eGear enlightened LED Technology” was introduced in 2005 as a branded trademark recognizing the goals and standards set by Essential Gear.
