Vargo

Inspiration comes from the most unexpected places. In 1995, while living in Japan, Brian Vargo read a story about an Appalachian Trail hike. Curiosity piqued, he committed himself to learning everything there was to know about the trip. He didn’t own a backpack or tools but what he lacked in gear, he made up for in enthusiasm and by April, he was ready to go.

By pairing titanium’s special metallurgical properties with state-of-the-art designs, Vargo products became some of the lightest gear available.
Vargo quickly expanded into a full line including pots, mugs, backpacking stoves, campware, water bottles, and lifestyle products.
