We've been making rugged bags and gear organizers for overlanders, off-roaders, and adventure travel enthusiasts since 2012 here by the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Because we've been around the block a few times, word about our products gets around.
Blue Ridge Overland Gear has been featured in magazines, websites, blogs, videos, and media outlets - including: Gear Patrol, Outside, OutdoorX4, American Adventurist, Gear Junkie, Blue Ridge Outdoors, Tread Magazine, Expedition Portal, Men's Journal, Bon Appetit and more.
