Our Story

Here at Rockduster, we make unique, custom gear for adventurers of all types! Starting with a chalkbag, and expanding into many other realms of gear, welcome to the gear that loves back!

Rockduster clawed it's way out of the woodwork as a request from my dear brother for another custom piece of adventure gear... a new chalkbag. For years we had been discussing ways to modify gear, improve the design, or customize it a bit. Usually these conversations happened in long car rides, over dinner, or on the phone. Nowhere near pen and paper, of course. Well, every now and then a sketch would make its way onto a used envelope, post-it note, or napkin, then BAM! the idea would stick!

After working for a little while as a repair 'seamstress' at a shop that repaired outdoor gear, I realized that it wasn't fair to abuse my home sewing machine by forcing 1/4" + layers of canvas, webbing and zippers through its struggling but valiant jaws... I would need an industrial strength machine to make these ideas reality. I finally invested in my own personal beast of a machine and here we are on the path to customized, hard working gear spawned from the brains of the adventurers themselves!

Being able to take a hare-brained-line drawing-idea on a bar napkin and turn it into durable, usable, lovable piece of gear is a wonderful feeling! I strive to make unique gear that lasts, that works and that you can love as much as I do. As we continue to grow, we would love to hear from you! Please send us your thoughts, feedback, and adventure stories!
