wicked good gear

ramsey gear was founded in 2017 with a simple yet powerful vision:

Create wicked good gear that’s built to last and designed to work harder

Ramsey MacDonald - founder - designer - developer

Growing up on the Niagara River gave me an appreciation for the outdoors and a passion to make wicked good gear to play outside. This is where I started my passion for designing outdoor gear.

Lynn Grochala - co-founder & owner

I am an environmental scientist by trade but a craft beer lover, gardener, and amateur home brewer at heart. I fell in love with the craft beer industry (and good beer) over 20 years ago when I first moved to the Pacific Northwest after college. I had no idea then that beer could be so complex and delicious! I now grow my own hops, brew when I have free time (not nearly enough), and love to travel and visit all the wonderful breweries our region has to offer. 

Riley Hunter

​This old man was with us for 14 years and is the inspiration for the ramsey gear logo. Riley loved long walks, long naps, belly rubs, hanging out with his pack by a cozy fire, and laying in the sun.  We miss him dearly, but his likeness lives on in ramsey gear. 

Guinness & Bodhi

Our German shepherd Guinness is so full of energy and spunk and is a stellar model for ramsey gear.

​We adopted Bodhi from the Big Dog Rescue Project in 2020. ​This adventurous pup has quickly learned the ropes from Guinness as our newest canine ambassador.
