While our home is in New England, our name draws from ancient linguistic roots that tell our story.
The first half of our name means “rich and abundant.” For us, that translates directly to a richness of craft—using premium materials and an abundance of durability that never cuts corners. Combined with the historic root “kar”—signifying “granite-hard strength”—Rikkar embodies the ultimate New England ideals of endurance and independence. Out here, the weather changes in a minute, and the terrain doesn’t forgive.
We curate premium, trail-tested gear engineered from advanced, high-performance materials. We bridge the gap between heavy-duty resilience and ultralight freedom. Every pack, tent, and accessory in our shop is selected to withstand the harshest elements without weighing you down.
Whether you are crushing a 2,000-mile thru-hike or sneaking in a weekend loop, our mission is simple: to help you shed the unnecessary weight so you can focus on the wild.
Rikkar. Ultralight Done Right
