Diorite Gear

Gifting a pair of Diorite Trekking Poles this holiday season? Great choice. Finding a pair with your name on them under the tree? Even better.

Diorite poles are built to last, with the right-to-repair in mind. Hikers are hard on their gear, and we get that. That’s why we back our poles with aftercare resources to help keep them going for miles to come.

Hit the link in our bio to read our blog, learn how to care for and repair your poles, and make sure that gift stays in service for the long haul.

It's time for our favorite event of the year!

Come see us at PCT Days to say hi and try out some poles! We've set up fabrication after our warehouse move and will have pairs of trekking poles to sell. As an Oregon brand with a number of former PCT thru-hikers on staff, we love getting a chance to show our gear to our community in person.

Not coming to PCT Days? Don't worry - we've restocked trekking poles on the site as well. Head to our link in bio to shop now!

Exciting news: We're moving!🎉⁠
⁠
We've been in our current warehouse since 2018 and have slowly been outgrowing it. Luckily enough, the space across the street was available and we've been busy preparing our new warehouse for the past month! This is an exciting time for us, this move is a clear reminder of how much we've grown over the years as a small business. This wouldn't be possible without any of you, so thanks for being here!⁠
⁠
What does this change mean? If you use our address for any reason, make sure you're using the new one! This mainly affects returns and local pickups. We'll be working from both locations for a few weeks - if you do have a local pickup and you can't find us, look across the street or give us a call!⁠
⁠
We'll be making the transition to the new address in all the places you can find it online and are accepting any returns to the new address moving forward - you can find the address now in our bio or on our shipping and returns page below.

Everything you need to know about shipping costs, times, and a quick & simple return process.

Cnoc Outdoors and Diorite Gear join outdoor lovers everywhere in expressing dismay at the mass cuts to the National Parks Service staff over the last few weeks. While we are a company, we are also a team of six people who benefit from public lands in a myriad of ways. We strongly believe in responsible stewardship and conservation of public lands, and operate as a company with those values in mind. While the full impact of the loss of these critical employees remains to be seen, it is clear to us that the forests, wildlife, and recreation areas that make up our public lands are going to suffer, endangering their safety and longevity going forward. Please join us in contacting your representatives to demand an end to these cuts - find an easy contact form linked below.
⁠
We will continue to operate our business with our commitment to public lands in mind - from our 20% profit donation to outdoor and conservation non-profits, our work as a certified trail crew, and our continued vocal objection to the privatization of public lands.
