Born in the Desert, Built for the Mountains
We're desert dwellers who love the mountains. We get it. Founded in Phoenix, Dune Hearth was born from a simple idea: to provide our fellow Arizonans with the best possible gear for their cold-weather adventures.
Our name reflects our dual nature: Dune represents our valley home while Hearth signifies the warmth and protection our gear provides against the alpine chill. From weekend ski trips in Flagstaff to backpacking through the snow-dusted Mogollon Rim, we bridge the gap between Phoenix urban life and rugged mountain reliability.
Meet Our Phoenix-Based Experts
The faces behind Dune Hearth are your neighbors, fellow hikers, and local mountain enthusiasts.
Shoop Hultsman
Founder & Technical Director
Shoop started Dune Hearth after realizing Phoenix lacked high-performance winter gear that didn't feel like an afterthought. He brings 15 years of alpine experience to our retail selection. You'll likely find him backcountry skiing near Greer during the winter months.
Our Commitment
Expert Curation
We aren't just resellers. Every piece of insulation, every waterproof membrane, and every lug sole in our shop is tested by us in the Arizona backcountry. If we wouldn't wear it on the mountain, we won't sell it to you.
Inclusivity
Nature belongs to everyone. Dune Hearth is committed to providing high-performance technical gear in an extensive range of sizes and fits, ensuring that all Arizonans feel welcome and safe in the wild.
Sustainability
We prioritize brands that utilize recycled materials and ethical manufacturing. Protecting the landscapes we love is just as important as protecting you from the cold.
Community
From sponsoring trail cleanups in the Catalina Mountains to local hiking clinics in Phoenix, Dune Hearth invests back into the local outdoor groups that keep our state beautiful.
