About Us

From a Blueprint to Open Water

Our story doesn't start with a perfect product. It starts with a problem.

Just like the team in that inflatable boat, heading out with a plan and a purpose, every brand faces a moment of truth: finding gear that is not just available, but truly reliable; not just affordable, but intelligently sourced. We know, because we've been in that boat—both literally and figuratively.

This is where OUTTERCARE found its calling. We realized that trust isn't built on a spreadsheet or a slick catalog. It's built in the gritty details: in the factory where a mask seal is tested for the hundredth time, and in the relentless search for a supplier who shares an obsession with a perfect buckle.

Our strength is this dual perspective:

As Makers:​ We run our own production lines for core products. This gives us control—the kind of control that lets us say “yes” to custom tweaks and “we guarantee” to consistent quality. When you have an idea, we speak the language of manufacturing from the first sketch.

As Sourcers:​ Beyond our factory walls, we act as your strategic procurement partner. We navigate the vast global supply chain with a maker's critical eye, vetting for the durability, safety, and value that we would demand for our own brand. We turn the complexity of sourcing into a single, accountable point of contact.

So, while others may just sell you a product, we offer a partnership built on a deeper understanding of the journey from blueprint to open water. We provide the reliable gear in the boat, and the reliable process behind it.

Let's build what's next, together.
