About

Trail Utility was born from a shared passion for the style, culture, and adventure that shaped our childhoods. It all started in 1990 when we, Michael and TJ, were raised by dads who were obsessed with motorcycles and cars—long before they realized just how cool their style was. As kids, we were surrounded by the grit and adrenaline of 90's motocross and car racing culture, as well as the rugged landscapes of Utah.

Fast forward to today: we have kids of our own and spend countless hours riding bikes with them. That’s when the idea hit us—what if we built a brand that our dads would have worn, that we would wear, and that our kids would look back on and say, “Our parents were rad”?

Thus, Trail Utility was born—a blend of the bold aesthetics of 90s motocross and car racing with a nod to the cowboy culture of the West. Inspired by vintage and modern gear, we create bags and apparel designed for adventure, with the desert landscapes we grew up in serving as our endless playground and muse. Trail Utility is more than a brand—through experiences on the trail we foster connection to our past by creating products with purpose and meaning to invite story telling for generations to come.
