At Iksplor, we’re passionate about supporting small, environmentally-conscious businesses that share our love for the outdoors and the adventures it brings. Many of the brands we admire are women and mother-owned, just like ours, and we’re proud to stand alongside them in creating gear that empowers families to explore the world with confidence. Their missions align with ours—encouraging outdoor exploration, fostering sustainability, and crafting quality products that stand the test of time. As we gear up for all the exciting camping and hiking adventures ahead, we’re thrilled to partner with like-minded companies who make it easy for families to get outside and embrace the beauty of nature together.
Deuter Backpacks
We admire Deuter’s long-standing commitment to crafting durable, thoughtfully engineered packs that make family adventures more comfortable and accessible. Their focus on sustainability and innovation aligns perfectly with our mission to help families explore the outdoors responsibly and confidently. Our Deuter backpacks have traveled the world with us—camping, hiking, and adventuring with our little ones (and all the snacks!). Bonus: they pair perfectly with the Trail Magik carrier for even more trail-day flexibility.
Trail Magik Carrier
We’ve known Katie, the founder of Trail Magik, for years—and she’s the real deal. A mom of three who’s always out hiking and exploring, she truly embodies the adventurous, get-outside spirit we’re all about at Iksplor. That’s why we’re such big fans of Trail Magik’s innovative, lightweight carrier attachment. It solves one of the biggest challenges of hiking with little ones—what to do when tired toddler legs just can’t go any farther. The carrier folds down small enough to stash in your backpack, so you’re always prepared for a mid-trail meltdown—without hauling a bulky carrier all day. Katie created something that makes it possible for more families to go farther, together—and we love her for it.
3 Moms Organics Bug Spray
We’re proud to support fellow parents on a mission—3 Moms Organics, creators of TickWise, a safe, natural, and MADE SAFE®-certified bug spray that helps families (and their dogs!) enjoy the outdoors without the worry of harmful chemicals. It smells amazing, goes on clean, and won’t leave you rushing for a shower after every use. We keep a bottle in our backpack, one in the car, and one by the back door—just shake and spray liberally before heading out! Don’t let the fear of ticks or mosquitoes keep you from exploring—TickWise lets you adventure with peace of mind.
Merry People Boots
We love how Merry People brings together function and fun with their colorful, waterproof boots designed for real-life adventure. As a brand committed to sustainability and timeless design, they make it easy for the whole family to step outside—rain or shine—with gear that lasts. As moms and outdoor enthusiasts, we’re often found in the mud, jumping in puddles with our kids, or cooking breakfast on a dewy morning at the campsite. For all of it, Merry People boots come in clutch—easy to slip on and off, and comfortable enough for a full day outdoors.
Morrison Outdoors Sleeping Bags
As a company that encourages getting outside with kids from day one, we love what Morrison Outdoors is doing with their baby and toddler sleeping bags—designed specifically for safe, cozy sleep under the stars. Their gear empowers parents to camp with confidence and share their love of nature from the very beginning. Our kids love wearing their sleeping bags around the campsite—the clever arm design lets them roast marshmallows and point up at the shooting stars without missing a beat.
Iksplor Baselayers
At Iksplor, we believe nature is the ultimate playground and classroom—and we design our gear to help families enjoy it in every season. Our 100% merino wool layers aren't just for winter adventures; they’re a smart, sustainable choice for summer too. Lightweight, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating, merino keeps kids cool on hot hikes and cozy on cool nights. Plus, our long sleeves and pants offer built-in protection from sun, bugs, ticks, and scratchy underbrush—so your little explorers stay safe and comfortable wherever the trail leads. 
As the days grow longer and the weather warms, we’re more inspired than ever to hit the trails, pitch the tent, and make unforgettable memories outside with our kids. At Iksplor, we believe the best family moments happen under the open sky—whether it’s a muddy hike, a starlit campsite, or a sunrise breakfast in the wild. With the right gear and the support of thoughtful, like-minded brands, every family can feel confident and equipped to explore more, worry less, and truly embrace the joy of outdoor adventure. Here's to a spring and summer full of nature, laughter, and connection.
