About Hilltop Packs

We are Hilltop Packs

A family owned business focused on creating ultralight and ultra-custom hiking products. We do this with a small group of amazing gear makers in our little shop in Waynesburg PA.

WE STARTED WITH A MISSION
To be different. To create truly one of a kind but highly functional gear you won't find in major retail stores. With personalized food bags, fanny packs, dry bags, and more... your gear will be as unique as your personal journey.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
Our ability to personalize your backpacking equipment. We can custom print any color, pattern, or photo submitted by the customer with most of our backpacking products.

HOW DID HILLTOP PACKS BEGIN?
Ben our founder, in 2019, posted a photo of his custom printed food bag with a bear printed on it to Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit. This quickly caught everyone's attention. An opportunity was born to give people what they wanted – gear with some personality! Since then we carefully assembled a small team of passionate gear makers and created this small but mighty company we call Hilltop Packs.

WHAT ABOUT COFFEE?
We also own a Coffee Roastery! You can view our dedicated coffee site at www.HilltopPacksCoffee.com
