Our Mission

If Camping Sucked Less, There Would Be More Stories To Tell

That is the line that started this company.

We were not chasing a mission statement. We were chasing the part of the trip everyone complains about and nobody fixes.

What We Are

We are the people who got tired of pretending the gear always made it easier. We started building because the math did not add up. A 150-pound rooftop tent left permanently mounted is a tax on fuel, on handling, on garage clearance, on Mondays.

So we built the Slipstream and the Gatekeeper.

That is the whole catalog. We do not stretch it to look like a bigger brand. We do not add SKUs because the dealer rep asks. The catalog stays small because the problem stays specific.

The Mission, In One Line

Get the rooftop tent off the rack faster than you ever thought possible, so the rig can be free and the trip can actually happen.

Real Beats Perfect

Real means our customer reviews, 4.81 stars across 150+ of them, are the proof we lead with. Customers in the UAE, Australia, and Canada. Buena Vista, Colorado is where we engineer and ship from Denver.

Real means if you write sales@starksidegear.com on a Saturday, a person who actually uses this gear writes you back.

If that is the company you want building the part that holds your tent to your roof, we are it.

Stay Stark. Never settle.
