North Carolina's capital city has a massive outdoor community. For gear with soul and purpose, Raleigh adventurers are discovering Moss Mountain Outfitters.
Raleigh's outdoor community is one of the largest and most active in the Southeast -- with Umstead State Park practically in the city limits and Falls Lake a short drive north.
While the capital city has no shortage of retail options, Moss Mountain Outfitters in Danville, VA offers something distinctive: a purpose-driven, family-owned shop where every purchase supports the HUEF Foundation. Many Raleigh adventurers who discover Landon and Susan's store through our online shop end up making the two-hour drive for the personalized boot fitting and in-person gear consultation that big retailers simply can't replicate. We also ship free on orders over $75 to Raleigh and across the Triangle.
Orders over $75 ship free. Browse our full selection of KUHL, Smartwool, Big Agnes, Cotopaxi, and 30+ other premium brands from home. We ship fast and pack carefully.
Our in-person boot fitting service is something you can't get online. For Raleigh hikers preparing for the Mountains-to-Sea Trail or a Blue Ridge backpacking trip, the two-hour drive pays for itself in blister-free miles.
In a sea of retail options, Moss Mountain stands out with its HUEF Foundation mission. Raleigh shoppers who care about where their money goes appreciate that 100% of Landon and Susan's profits support community programs.
Big outdoor retailers can be overwhelming. Our 37+ hand-selected brands mean you're choosing from the best, not sorting through thousands of mediocre options. Our team can help narrow it down even further.
