“Hillsound Equipment was founded with a very special vision and ambition. Having always enjoyed time spent in the mountains, I was inspired and forever changed
when I moved to beautiful British Columbia, Canada. I was driven to open up a retail store dedicated to fellow outdoor lovers like myself. While opening and running
the store, I explored as much of the natural landscapes that Canada’s Western-most province has to offer. Through personal product testing and interaction with
Vancouver’s active outdoor community, I soon came to realize there was still so much gear that could be developed to better fit the B.C. outdoor enthusiasts’ needs.
My goals became larger than just being able to provide the gear that was already available on the market for Vancouverites. New products designed specifically for
the the damp and often slippery slopes of the Coast Mountain range were needed for hikers and trail runners. This is when Hillsound’s Trail Crampon came in to being.
From initial success in local markets, the Trail Crampon’s popularity spread around the globe as adventurers realized the benefit of an easy-to-use traction device like
Hillsound’s. Since then, Hillsound Equipment has strived to create gear that was safe, trustworthy and comfortable for our fellow outdoor enthusiasts. With an
appreciation for British Columbia’s outdoor playground and an awareness of the environmental beauty of our home, we will continue to serve the needs of
outdoor lovers all around the world.” CS Kang, Hillsound CEO
