Mountain Hardwear and Leave No Trace share a simple belief: the outdoors is worth protecting.

Mountain Hardwear has spent decades making gear for people who venture into wild places, and they know that these places need protection. Their commitment to sustainability shapes everything they do, from choosing responsible materials to lowering their environmental impact throughout their supply chain.

When the gear you rely on outdoors comes from a company that cares about those places, the mission is clear. The 7 Days of Leave No Trace campaign lets both organizations do what they do best. Mountain Hardwear provides top-quality gear for outdoor lovers, and Leave No Trace teaches people how to protect the places they explore.

Every ticket you buy helps support Leave No Trace’s education efforts. Each principle we share this week gives you another reason to get outside responsibly.

How are winners selected?

Winners are selected at random, with one winner per principle. The more tickets you purchase for a specific principle, the better your odds in that drawing. Golden Ticket holders receive one entry in each of the seven drawings.

Sizing and color choice are subject to inventory availability; any substitution will be of equal value.

All winners are selected after Day 7 (September 20). If you win, you’ll hear from us by email on or around September 22 and will have five business days to respond. If we don’t hear back within that window, we’ll select a new winner for that prize pack.

Yes. When you check out, you’ll select which principle you want your tickets applied to. If you want to enter multiple prize pack drawings, you’ll need to make a separate purchase for each one — or skip the math and grab a Golden Ticket, which enters you into all seven at once.
The Golden Ticket enters you into all seven drawings — one entry per prize pack. Each drawing is separate, so your Golden Ticket gives you a chance to win each of the seven Mountain Hardwear prize packs. One purchase, seven shots.
