Off the Grid Surplus Clothing is built on the same rugged principles that have always defined true outdoor gear—durability, reliability, and purpose. Inspired by a legacy of outfitting those who work and explore in demanding environments, we believe clothing should do more than look good—it should perform when it matters most.
Designed for life beyond the pavement, our gear is selected and crafted to handle harsh conditions, long days, and unpredictable terrain. Every piece reflects a commitment to function and durability, ensuring it can be trusted whether you’re deep in the backcountry or navigating everyday challenges.
Our collection is rooted in a no-compromise approach to quality. From material selection to construction, we prioritize function, resilience, and comfort. The result is clothing that doesn’t just last—it earns its place over time, often becoming a staple passed down or relied on season after season.
At Off the Grid Surplus, we stand behind what we offer. Our mission is simple: provide dependable gear that supports your lifestyle and keeps you ready for wherever the path leads.
To inspire greater connection through adventure.
We do that by creating extremely functional and everyday wearable products for a great price to take you Off The Grid.
I started Off The Grid in 2012 after more than 20 years in the industry, where I got tired of watching great gear get watered down. Big brands kept stripping out the features that actually mattered—cutting corners to hit a price tag, not to build something better for you.
That didn’t sit right with me.
So in 2018, I went all in. Off The Grid became my full-time mission: build gear the way it’s supposed to be built—no compromises, no shortcuts, no dialing it back.
Off The Grid isn’t just a phrase or a destination—it’s a state of mind. It’s about stepping away, even if just for an afternoon or a weekend. It’s about disconnecting from the daily grind, decompressing, and reconnecting with the outdoors.
We could all use a little more of that—now more than ever.
Standard Set.
In 2017, Off the Grid Surplus introduced the Trailblazer Pants—designed with the off-road lifestyle in mind and built to handle whatever the day throws your way. By combining the best elements of outdoor, workwear, and tactical design, the Trailblazers deliver a versatile, durable pant that transitions seamlessly from everyday wear to rugged terrain.
The response was immediate. The Trailblazer Pants sold out within six weeks—and then sold out again, and again—quickly earning their place as a trusted staple for those who rely on gear that performs without compromise.
At Off the Grid Surplus, improvement is part of everything we do. For years, we’ve listened closely to our customers, influencers, friends, and family—taking real-world feedback and turning it into meaningful upgrades.
That commitment is why our best-selling Trailblazer Pants have evolved through seven distinct refinements. Each version builds on the last, dialing in fit, function, and durability to better meet the demands of those who rely on them.
We’re never done improving. Every product we create is part of a continuous process to make our gear better, stronger, and more dependable for whatever comes next.
We have a company-wide commitment to making our outdoor spaces better and more sustainable.
How do we do it?
We work with people better at it than us.
We proudly support organizations like CORVA and Tread Lightly!, working alongside them to help keep trails clean, accessible, and open for future generations. Through advocacy, responsible recreation, and giving back, we’re committed to preserving the off-road community and the land it depends on. Because getting off the grid means nothing if we don’t take care of what’s out there.
