TrailEagle Packs Recognized for Best Outdoor Gear Design (2025)

By Kevin K Burnett | December 15th, 2025

We’re grateful to share that Trail Eagle Packs has been selected as the 2025 Best Outdoor Gear Design by GHP News.

This recognition highlights the design, innovation, and thought that went into building our packs, from early sketches and prototypes to the final products that made it into the hands of hikers, adventurers, and everyday users.

The award was announced after we made the decision to wind down operations, but it’s meaningful to see the work recognized as this chapter comes to a close.

A Recognition of the Work

The Best Outdoor Gear Design award reflects a focus on functionality, durability, and thoughtful design, values that guided every stage of Trail Eagle Packs’ development.

From modular storage concepts to field testing and iteration, the goal was always to build something practical, well-designed, and purpose-driven.

Being recognized for that effort is something we’re proud of.

Gratitude for the Community Behind It

This recognition wouldn’t have been possible without the people who supported the journey.

From early backers and customers to advisors, partners, and members of the outdoor and entrepreneurial communities, your feedback, encouragement, and belief in the idea played a role in shaping the final product.

We’re especially grateful to those who trusted us early and helped turn an idea into something real.

Closing This Chapter on a High Note

While Trail Eagle Packs will be concluding operations soon, this award serves as a meaningful capstone to the journey.

It’s a reminder that the work mattered, the product stood on its own, and the effort behind it was recognized.

As we prepare to close this chapter, we’re proud of what was built and thankful for everyone who was part of it.

Thank you for being part of the trail.
