2022 Colorado Country Life‘s annual Best of Colorado contest Winner
BEST MADE-IN-COLORADO PRODUCT:
Good Vibes River Gear, Craig
Clearly, people mesh well with Good Vibes River Gear in Craig. This outdoor gear and apparel shop located near the Yampa River was selected by CCL readers as this year’s Best Made-in-Colorado Product.
According to its website, “Good Vibes River Gear is all about good vibes and enjoying the water and wilderness.” Primarily focused on rafting gear yet sellers of all sorts of outdoor necessities, the folks at GVRG hand sew all their mesh gear with American-made products and offer customization so buyers get exactly what they’re looking for — think duffel bags, speaker bags, gear covers and more.
Curiously, their mesh grocery bags are a best seller. “They help reduce single use plastics and are durable enough to hold as much weight as you can carry,” said co-founder Maegan Veenstra. “Once a customer buys one bag, they usually come back and buy more because they are so awesome.”
Take a gander at GVRG’s products and rental gear at goodvibesrivergear.com to find out for yourself why these makers of mesh merchandise were voted in as one of this year’s favorites.
