Dragoon Unlimited
Rugged & Reliable Gear for Life’s Next Adventure.
1970–2018
— The Foundations
A lifetime spent outside. Family camping trips. Eagle Scout grit. Years in Army boots—first as an armored vehicle crewman, then as a cavalry officer—training, traveling, and learning what real-world gear actually needs to survive.
2018
— From the Army to Dragoon Unlimited
When I hung up the uniform, I knew two things:
1. I wanted to work for myself.
2. I wanted to put family first.
“Dragoon” comes from my cavalry days. “Unlimited” comes from having no idea where the road led—only that we were going to build something real.
2019
— The First Gear Hits the Ground
We started small and practical: mylar blankets, fire starters, pocket stoves, water filters. Gear inspired by buddies who lived the same life and demanded more than gimmicks. We were learning the business one callused hand at a time.
2020
— The Pandemic Push
Demand exploded. We took that momentum and rebuilt the classic poncho liner—adding zippers, improving function, and bringing back the camo patterns everyone grew up with.
2022
— The Smoking Jacket Era
Same legendary camo. Totally new purpose. We built the ultimate smoking jacket—one that says, without hesitation, “I can lounge on the porch… or disappear into the jungle.”
2023
— Hatari & the Ridgeback
We introduced the Hatari Upland Hunting Vest: vintage look, modern engineering.
Then came the Ridgeback Bivy Tent—born from your comments, your field use, and your feedback. Built with the DU community, not just for it.
2024–2025
— Into the Optics Game
Pulling from our team’s decades of military and outdoors experience, we designed and manufactured our newest tool: the Recce Tactical Safari Binoculars. Rugged glass for serious fieldcraft.
2026 & Beyond
— The Mission Continues
More user-inspired gear. More field testing. More adventures with the people who helped us build this company from day one—our friends.
