How Coldbrook
came together

  1. Named after a cold brook The brook
    Waypoint 01

    Where it started

    Named after a cold brook

    Every good trip we took seemed to end at the same cold brook, filling bottles and comparing what worked and what did not. Coldbrook is the gear list that came out of those conversations.

  2. Chosen in the rain, not in the catalogue Field tested
    Waypoint 02

    How gear earns its place

    Chosen in the rain, not in the catalogue

    Every piece has to pass three questions: is it genuinely useful on a trip, does it hold up when the weather turns, and does the supplier give real numbers we can print. If the answer is no to any of them, it does not make the range.

  3. Six things, not one Kits
    Waypoint 03

    Buy by the trip

    Six things, not one

    Someone kitting out for a first camping trip needs a shelter, something to sleep on, light, a way to cook and a seat by the water. So the store is built around activities and kits, with the specs that matter on every page.

  4. Further than last time Where it goes
    Waypoint 04

    Where it goes

    Further than last time

    Ridges, lakeshores, a field behind a friend's house. Wherever the trip is, the aim is the same: gear that carries well, keeps you warm and dry, and lets you focus on the miles ahead.
