Coastbound is a Canadian outfitter for the two halves of every good trip — the road there, and the trail past it. Serious equipment, straight answers, curated from Calgary, Alberta.
Eleven hours if you rush it. Days if you do it right. Somewhere past the Rockies the cell signal gives up, the cedars close over the road, and everything you packed either earns its place or becomes dead weight.
That's the standard we buy against. Coastbound carries the gear that earns its place — chosen slowly, explained honestly, and backed by people who actually drive west.
Overlanding gets you to the end of the road. Backcountry gear takes you beyond it. Most shops pick a side — we outfit the whole journey, because out here it was never two hobbies. It's one trip.
We open with the systems everything else depends on: 12-volt power and refrigeration. Get those right and the trip gets longer, the food gets better, and the generator stays home.
Silent lithium power for camp, tools, and the long unplugged stretch — sized honestly for how you actually travel.
True fridge-freezers that hold temperature on corrugated roads — no ice, no soggy food, no compromise on week two.
Panels, alternator charging, and the wiring in between — planned as one system, not a drawer of adapters.
Carried brands announced at launch. Rooftop tents, shelter, and camp systems follow in the spring collection.
Usable watt-hours, real-world draw, cold-weather behaviour. If a spec sheet is optimistic, we say so before you pay four figures.
Side-by-side guides written to help you choose — including when the answer is the cheaper unit, or none at all.
Every product ships with its Canadian warranty terms spelled out in plain language — who fixes it, where, and how long it takes.
Why an eleven-hour drive takes us five days, what the fog line does to a loaded rig, and the packing list that finally stopped changing.
