At HEST, we design gear for sleeping under the stars- because we believe the best nights are spent outside, connected to nature, and cradled by the landscapes we love. Whether you’re overlanding into a remote desert plateau, mountain biking to your favorite alpine lake, or simply lying back and birdwatching in the forest, our gear is built to bring comfort wherever you roam. “Sleep Well, Play More” means that when you rest well outside, you wake up ready to fully enjoy everything the wonders of the wild have to offer.
But all of these experiences depend on one essential foundation: access to public lands.
That’s why we’re proud to announce that HEST has joined the Brands for Public Lands coalition. This initiative, led by The Conservation Alliance, is a collective call to action from businesses across the outdoor industry to defend our nation’s public lands and waters from mounting political, environmental, and economic threats.
We are doubling down, all hands on deck for the cause. In addition to our unwavering support with Brands for Public Lands, we are committed to continuing our longterm partnership with Backcountry Hunters Anglers, with our HEST X BHA Camp Pillow where proceeds benefit their efforts to protect our wild places, waters and wildlife.
When access is stripped away or landscapes are permanently altered by unchecked development, it affects every one of us who depend on the outdoors for our livelihood, mental health, and sense of freedom.
These wild spaces are the reason we do what we do. And they’re what connect the fabric of our community—from weekend wanderers to hardcore adventurers. When those landscapes are threatened, so is our purpose as a brand.
Together, we aim to shift the narrative—because conservation isn’t partisan. It’s essential.
Our message is simple: Protect wild places. Preserve public lands for their environmental, economic, and cultural value.
We invite our customers, partners, and fellow adventurers to stand with us:
