This past spring, the team at Cairn was thrilled to launch a new way for our community to explore and discover new brands, activities, and outdoor inspiration - Kitted by Cairn. The Kitted program is a personalized, try-before-you-buy retail experience. Kitted members can select up to five items from their custom Kit Shop and try items out before committing to a purchase. The program is ideal for those that want to try a new activity, upgrade their current gear, or test out the latest and greatest outdoor products before investing in them.
The entire Cairn Crew has been personally testing the Kitted program themselves. Over the coming weeks, members of the Crew will share their Kits and how they've been putting their new gear and apparel to use.
Intrigued? Learn more about our Kitted by Cairn beta program and secure your spot so that we can start customizing a Kit Shop for you. Together, we'll create a Kit that takes you new places!

Activity selected:
Hiking and Car Camping
(Rob changed up his activity preference on each Kit Cycle).
Kit items kept:
Astral Hemp Loyak
Mammut Lithia Speed Backpack
Kammok Roo Double
How I put my Kit to use:
"In July Betsey (wife), Kennedy (daughter), and I hiked into Lucky Lake and took a dip. Kennedy's first mountain lake swim! It was an idyllic Saturday activity in the Cascades.
My Hemp Loyaks from Astral were comfortable for the hike and perfect for the rocky/muddy lake bottom on the swim. Betsey loved the Mammut Lithia Speed backpack, it was the right size for Kennedy's supplies and snacks/water for our hike. The Kammok Roo Double provided the perfect way to relax lakeside before hiking back to our car."

Craft Sportswear Women's Grid Turtleneck

How I put my Kit to use FOR REAL:
"My Kits have been off-the-wall amaz-za-zaing. I'm a #vanlifer so my mornings, nights, and weekends are spent in the woods and there is nothing worse than gear breaking down on you when you're away from civilization with minimal backup options. Kitted gives me that chance to really be sure gear lives up to its online reviews."

Activity selected:
Hiking
Kit items kept:
Marmot Vance SS
Mammut Hiking Pants RG
How I put my Kit to use:
"I climbed the Grand Teton in the Mammut Hiking Pants and they were great - light with a good stretch but kept the wind off. The Vance SS has been great on all kinds of hikes, including an attempt at all of the Three Sisters in a day (only made it up two of them). Kitted has been great for trying on a couple of shirts to find the one with the fit I wanted or seeing a selection of outdoor pants narrowed down to the ones specific to hiking."
