Our company
Trail Hoppers is a French company on a mission to empower outdoor adventurers with versatile, lightweight, and durable gear. We equip them with the tools to explore freely and confidently.
Our first product is the 3-in-1 Cape, a Hammock that easily transforms into a Poncho or a Tarp. Trail Hoppers was founded in 2023. We launched a successful Kickstarter campaign in June 2023 which reached the funding goal in 24h.
The 3-in-1 Cape was tested by experts and received an ISPO Award and a French Outdoor Award.
The idea came during a round-the-world tour. Pierre had a rain poncho in his well-filled backpack, but couldn't stop picturing himself in a hammock hung in the beautiful landscapes he visited. In South America, he came up with a design and worked with a seamstress to modify his poncho: the very first 3-en-1 Cape prototype was born.
