About River Hardware

River Hardware started when tried to find a rain tarp for our commercial trips that were suitable for our every day use. We had some 20 year old bomber tarps designed and sewn by Addie, a seamstress in the town of Salmon, and took them to a wind sail maker in our hometown of Hood River, Oregon. They were able to duplicate the design and add some small improvements. The result was an absolutely beautiful tarp.

Now, when we can't find quality gear for our commercial trips, we work with our new friends to design and produce the extraordinary gear. We always make a few extra to sell to our friends.

We are VERY focused on quality and durability. Every time we make a product, we produce several prototypes and thoroughly test each one until we have the perfect product. This is gear that is designed and tested by boaters who pay attention to every detail.

We are always open to new ideas for products. If you have one in mind, please contact us at products@riverhardware.com.
