Hi, nice to meet you

Hello, I'm Elliot, the founder and CEO of HikeWare. Born and raised in Kent, my journey to creating HikeWare was fuelled by a lifelong passion for the great outdoors, which I balance with my career as a Mortgage Underwriter. Beyond the office, you'll find me hiking, camping, weight training, or enjoying a good film.

 

My real inspiration for starting HikeWare came in the aftermath of an unexpected twist. In September 2022, while participating in a fitness event, I sustained injuries that dramatically changed my lifestyle. During my recovery, I rediscovered my love for the outdoors on a transformative trip to Innsbruck, Austria. There, amidst the stunning mountain views and a small shop that made a big impression, I found a new purpose: to encourage others to experience and respect the natural world.

 

HikeWare was born from this vision. Launched in February 2023, our mission extends beyond providing top-quality outdoor gear. We are committed to sustainability, supporting community initiatives, and inspiring adventure. Each purchase supports environmental efforts and charitable causes, enhancing the great outdoors that brought me so much solace and inspiration.

 

Thank you for joining me on this adventure. Together, we can make a meaningful impact, one step at a time.

Our Mission

Our Commitment to the Planet and Its People - At HikeWare, we are driven by a passion for the great outdoors and a commitment to sustainability. Our mission is to equip adventurers with high-quality, eco-friendly gear while making a positive impact on both the planet and our community.

 

Environmental Stewardship
Every purchase helps us rescue one plastic bottle from the environment, supporting our efforts to reduce plastic waste and protect natural spaces. We strive to use sustainable materials in our products and packaging to minimize our ecological footprint.

 

Community Engagement
We believe in the mental and emotional benefits of connecting with nature. That's why we donate 1% of every sale to Mind Over Mountains, an organization that promotes mental health through outdoor activities. We also host charity events to encourage community involvement and support for environmental causes.

 

Customer-Centric Innovation
Our commitment to quality and innovation ensures that every HikeWare product meets the highest standards of performance and sustainability. We listen to our customers and continuously improve our offerings to enhance your outdoor experiences.

Join us in our mission to inspire, protect, and celebrate the outdoors.

“At HikeWare, every step we take towards innovation is also a step towards a more sustainable planet.

We are dedicated not just to exploring the great outdoors, but to preserving it for future generations. Join us as we innovate responsibly, ensuring our adventures today don't compromise the wilderness of tomorrow.“

Looking forward, we are excited to launch charity and paid raffles, offering the opportunity to win premium gear for less than the price of a trailhead snack. These raffles not only enhance the accessibility of our products but also support worthwhile causes, aligning with our core values of community and stewardship.

In addition to these exciting developments, we are exploring more ways to give back, such as partnering with conservation groups and expanding our eco-friendly product lines to include more recycled materials and innovative, low-impact manufacturing processes.

Expanding Horizons, Elevating Experiences

At HikeWare, our vision transcends simply outfitting adventurers. We are committed to continually innovating and elevating the outdoor experience through advanced, eco-conscious designs and an expanding range of products. By nurturing a culture of sustainability and adventure, we are shaping a future where both our community and the environment thrive together.

 

Our initiatives include monthly free giveaways, a token of our gratitude and a way to engage our vibrant community more deeply. As HikeWare grows, we plan to significantly increase these offerings, giving more adventurers the chance to experience our high-quality gear.
