uniqueness_

Since we were founded on the metaphor of a 'gear research laboratory' you are likely to notice some unusual products in our catalog. Some may ask, "Why did they design that?" We take pride in challenging conventions instead of retreading tired concepts. So why ask why? Ask instead, "Why are so many others selling me stuff I've seen a hundred times before...in a new color?"

We choose the products we design for our line primarily by researching personal equipment common in professional, military and rescue work then cross-pollinating it's unique functional features with the latest materials and styles from the world of extreme sports and lifestyle. Thus the name 'CIVILIAN' and the stylized breaker 'C' logo - bubbling with an exciting brew of goodness.

We believe this combination results in a special blend of unique forms and an appealing aesthetic that is a bit alien but still rooted in contemporary styles.

In work or sport, excellence results from a series of small details planned and executed right. Our primary goal is to make that true of our products - and to make them one of the small details in your own pursuit of excellence. We take the time to design, test and redesign our products until fit for field use. This results in a sub 1% product return/warrantee rate which is bolstered by descriptive web/media, giving buyers clarity for the purchase before they buy.

From the choice of our custom fibers and hardware, to unique function, versatility, style, and ergonomic fit, you are assured each was given thorough consideration. All details are added/omitted for sound reason. From the time you open them, we hope you sense the care poured into each one.

You may not always choose your surroundings, but with Civilian you carry the most refined support gear with you as you move through them to reach your goals.
