We Moved To A Bigger Shop!

A family owned business focused on creating ultralight and ultra-custom backpacking and hiking accessories. We do this with a small group of amazing gear makers in our 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 at major retail stores.  With personalized backpacks, fanny packs, dry bags, and more... your gear will be as unique as your journey.

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

HOW DID HILLTOP PACKS BEGIN?
Ben , our founder, has been into hiking his whole life but didn't start Backpacking until 2015. Like many who get into backpacking he became obsessed with gear and even started making his own just to be different.

Ben, in 2019 posted a photo of his custom printed food bag with a bear printed on it to Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit, which caught everybody’s attention. 

The requests to make other custom food bags started pouring in from all around the world. An opportunity was born to give people what they wanted – gear that makes them stand out. Over that first year we assembled a small team of passionate gear makers in Waynesburg, PA and got to work.

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