WELCOME TO MAGNET DESIGNS
Designed on trail, built for trail life.
My trail name is Magnet. I am a long distance backpacker and craft outdoor gear maker. Everything I sell is designed, tested and built by thru-hikers to be the toughest, lightest and most practical designs available anywhere. From the West Highland Way in Scotland, the Arizona Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail and the Te Araroa in New Zealand, my gear has proven itself on trails all over the world.
More than just being light, tough and practical, the ethics of the trail community are reflected in my designs. Everything I sell is hand made to order in Bend, Oregon using USA-sourced and recycled fabrics whenever possible. Zero people are exploited in the making of my garments.
Oregon does not have a sales tax. My business is small, online only and based exclusively here so that means, you guys get to purchase gear from me and not pay any state sales tax. Yea that's right. Tax free to all 50 states. FREE shipping on domestic orders over $100.

March orders are now closed for made-to-order garments. Orders will open again on 4-1-25. You can still order gaiters and sleeping bag liners at this time. These will ship within two weeks of ordering. Email me with questions. I'll be in the shop sewing. You can subscribe for notifications at bottom of page. Happy Trails!
“My first trip out with the Bend Alpha hoodie, I found myself pulling it out constantly times where I typically just deal with the cold, and it was an absolute game-changer. I won't ever hike without it now”
