At Sugar Lake Gear Co., we believe in the power of nature to inspire, energize, and transform.

Sugarlake Gear Co. was born from a deep appreciation of the charming Canadian town of Vendée, Quebec. The region, renowned for its pristine outdoor environment, features its namesake lake, “De La Sucrerie,” or “Sugar Lake” which highlights the abundance of maple trees that yield Quebec’s famous maple syrup. Local residents take great pride in the area's water quality, diverse wildlife, and the tranquil atmosphere. Sugarlake Gear Co., shares these same values, taking great pride in the quality and thoughtfulness of each and every product that bears its name.

Every product we craft is a tribute to the beauty, resilience, and tranquility found in nature.
