Utah camping and overland gear brands

Eighteen camping and overland brands are listed from Utah.

Canvas tents have been cut and sewn in the Salt Lake Valley since 1944, when the customers were outfitters and miners. The newer companies here moved on to air and lithium, with inflatable sleeping pads designed in Kaysville and portable power stations from Bluffdale. The canvas never went away, so a Utah campsite can now run on both.
