Sherpa

Built for Adventurers, by Adventurers

Sherpa Equipment Company was born out of a genuine passion for the outdoors. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Berthoud, Colorado, Sherpa was started by adventure-driven enthusiasts who needed a roof rack system that could genuinely keep up with their lifestyle — and couldn't find one that met their standards. So they built their own. That founding spirit of uncompromising quality is still at the heart of every product the brand produces today.

What Sets Sherpa Apart

In a crowded market of rack manufacturers, Sherpa has carved out a reputation for continuous improvement rather than resting on past designs. While many competitors lock in a design and move on, Sherpa consistently revisits and refines its products. The result is a lineup that features some of the strongest side plates in the industry and was among the first to integrate black oxide stainless steel hardware into its rack systems — details that matter when you're deep in the backcountry and need your gear to stay put.

All rack systems are constructed from high-grade aluminum, keeping weight down without sacrificing the structural integrity needed for demanding off-road use. Whether you're hauling a rooftop tent through mountain passes, carrying recovery boards across desert terrain, or mounting supplemental lighting for a night run, Sherpa racks are engineered to handle it.

Vehicle-Specific Fitment for a Clean Build

One of Sherpa's defining strengths is its commitment to vehicle-specific design. Rather than offering generic universal solutions, the brand engineers its rack systems to fit specific platforms — including Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia, FJ Cruiser, Lexus GX, Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator, Ford F-Series, RAM, Subaru, Volkswagen, Porsche, and more. This approach results in cleaner installs, better fitment, and a finished look that feels integrated with the vehicle rather than bolted on as an afterthought.

A Modular Ecosystem Built Around Your Adventure

Sherpa's product ecosystem is designed with modularity in mind. The brand's core roof rack platforms are only the starting point. A robust lineup of roof rack accessories allows owners to expand their setup over time — adding lighting mounts, traction board carriers, awning brackets, fishing rod holders, cargo cases, fuel and water storage solutions, and more. This modular approach means your rack grows with your adventures rather than becoming obsolete the moment your kit changes.

Whether you're building out a dedicated overland rig or simply want a dependable way to carry gear on weekend camping trips, Sherpa Equipment Company offers a thoughtfully designed, American-made solution that doesn't ask you to compromise between form and function.
