From our living room to yours...
Every great business has a story, and ours starts in a living room in Idaho, surrounded by equal parts determination, coffee, and a dream to create something that mattered. That dream became High Desert Gear, a brand born from The Brinton Group. a family-run company built on relationships, resilience, and a relentless commitment to quality.
For over 30 years, we’ve been manufacturers and marketers of quality consumer products, but what truly defines us is partnership. Depending on the opportunity, we can act as brokers, wholesale distributors, or direct importers. Our goal has never been just to move products; it’s to help our retail and vendor partners grow. With decades of industry experience and a dedicated, U.S.-based team, we bring expertise, creativity, and a personal touch to every collaboration.
Warmth You Can Feel
Out of that same spirit grew High Desert Gear, one of our proudest brands. Designed in Idaho and inspired by the rugged beauty that surrounds us, High Desert Gear offers affordable styles that blend comfort, function, and warmth. Whether it’s a beanie built for the slopes, gloves that stand up to mountain mornings, or sun-safe hats made for adventure, we believe warmth isn’t just about temperature; it’s about care, comfort, and community.
Rooted in Idaho, Committed to Giving Back
Our home in Idaho keeps us grounded. It reminds us what really matters: people helping people. That’s why we’re deeply committed to supporting local causes, veterans, and small businesses. We’ve participated in Feast of Sharing, and the Boise Bicycle Project yearly drive. We’ve provided warm gear for countless volunteers, and partnered with other companies to lift our community together.
Giving back isn’t a marketing line for us – it’s who we are. Because at the end of the day, every product we create and every partnership we build is guided by one belief: when we take care of each other, we all grow stronger.
