Owners of UGQ Outdoor
UGQ Outdoor is more than a gear company to us. It is our family’s work, our commitment to this community, and a reflection of the way we believe small-batch outdoor gear should be made.
We love the outdoors because it has a way of stripping things back to what matters most: family, adventure, grit, simplicity, and time well spent. That same mindset is built into every quilt, underquilt, and piece of gear that leaves our shop.
As owners, we are hands-on in the business every day — not just building products, but serving the people who trust us with their adventures. Quality, honest customer service, and standing behind our work are not marketing lines to us. They are the standard we expect from ourselves.
Most importantly, UGQ is part of how we raise our children. We homeschool them, bring them into the rhythm of the business, and teach them that hard work, craftsmanship, patience, and caring for people still matter. When you support UGQ, you are supporting a family that is fully invested in doing this the right way.
To Alyssa, the one who helps hold it all together.
We also have to give credit where it is absolutely due. Alyssa is our rock. As our lead sewer and production rockstar, she carries a huge part of the production load, keeps gear moving through the shop, and brings the consistency, care, and grit that customers feel when their orders arrive. UGQ would not be what it is without the work she puts in every day.
