We start by using the highest quality USA sourced thread, fabric, foam, plastic, metal, webbing, and velcro available. All of our gear is designed and constructed on USA soil to withstand the toughest terrain and weather on the planet. From the deserts of Arizona to the Mountains of Alaska; T & K is the standard for function, protection, and durability.

100% privately owned by the Kath family. The T & K business foundation was constructed with Midwest values of integrity, patriotism, and hard work. We value and treat every employee and customer like a friend or relative; not just a number. Our near non existent return for refund rates, friendly customer exchange & return policies, and no BS lifetime warranty is what drives our success in the gear making market.

Unlike many other gear companies, we take pride in manufacturing our products in America. We proudly support countless raw material manufacturers within the United States, and provide livable wages with benefits to our manufacturing employees in South Dakota. This means you support hundreds upon thousands of American manufacturing jobs when you purchase from us. The way it should be!
