Why Nova

A small range, refined season after season.

We design a short list of packs, shelters and footwear, then keep improving those same styles instead of chasing trend cycles. Every piece is built to be repaired, re-packed and carried again.

How long does shipping take?

Orders placed before 2pm ship the same business day. Standard delivery takes 5–8 business days, and shipping is free on orders over $49.

What is your return policy?

Unused gear with original tags can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. Return shipping is free for domestic orders.

How do I choose the right pack size?

Measure your torso from the C7 vertebra to the top of your hip bones. Under 18in fits a small, 18–20in a medium, over 20in a large. Every pack page lists its torso range.

Are the tents freestanding?

Our three-season models are freestanding and can be pitched on rock or platforms. The tarp shelter range requires trekking poles.

Do you ship internationally?

Phase 1 ships within the United States. Duties and import taxes are the buyer's responsibility where applicable.
