Wambolt, an American outdoor company building gear and storage solutions, will debut at Outdoor Retailer, featured at the ASCENT | Emerging Brands Pavilion, in Minneapolis.
Ready-To-Go
Modern gear and storage solutions are not aimed at families. Most roof racks sit out of reach, hold only soft goods and are a challenge to store. Open cargo carriers are weather exposed, tough to strap down and block the rear door. At their best, these can only solve the drive.
“The outdoor experience for families starts well before leaving the door,” said Scott Wambolt, Founder and CEO. “The main challenge for families centers on the transitions to and from the house. Packing before trips and unpacking after are where the headaches live. They’re where last-minute trips get skipped and small windows bypassed. The logistical barrier is the primary one. We are removing that.”
Wambolt is being built by brothers Scott and Mark for families like theirs. Kids at home, gear for every season and activity, but no system that bridges the home and the trip.
“We didn’t want to design another rack or another bin,” said Mark Wambolt, Co-Founder. “We wanted to design a new way to think about your gear storage. We think your storage system should help you go more.”
Wambolt’s Ready-To-Go (RTG) System is fully customizable gear storage for the garage and the vehicle. Full specifications will be available at Booth 429.
Memories for Generations
Time outside together is where families build memories and identity. In the outdoors, kids get their parents’ undivided attention and normal schedules are replaced with adventures and spontaneity. Unintended mishaps lead to belly laughs years later. Time outdoors should not be a chore, but a celebrated and repeatable investment in the childhood, memories, and legacy of a family.
“Those experiences and stories don’t happen by accident,” Scott Wambolt added. “Somebody in that family did the work of preparing, packing, and getting everyone out the door. They probably didn’t sleep the night before, then spent hours repacking the garage when they got back. We want to help those people, and be the reason their family gets out more often. Memories should be made more than once a summer.”
Outdoor Retailer
Wambolt’s first public appearance will be at Outdoor Retailer, in the ASCENT | Emerging Brands Pavilion, Aug. 19-21, 2026, at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Retailers, manufacturing partners, and press interested in product details can request a private conversation at Booth 429 or through the contact below.
