Industry Spotlight: WeatherGear
WeatherGear was founded on the principle that serious truck owners — whether they’re running forest service roads on a weekend overland trip or hauling gear to a remote job site before dawn — deserve a cargo protection system that is truly up to the task. The flagship product, the TruckDuffle, is the result of countless miles of off-pavement travel, blunt conversations with people who’ve carried heavy loads in hard conditions, and dissatisfaction with the rigid, limiting solutions the market had long offered.

The History of Overland Expo
The history of Overland Expo is rich with stories, characters, and lessons both taught and learned. As the changes to the training area were taking shape, another major change was happening elsewhere at Overland Expo. Anyone who was there that first year at Amado is likely to remember a small group of young girls known as the “Rover Divas” having the time of their lives amidst the wonderful chaos of everything at the event. At the core of their gang was 9-year-old Grace Howard, who, despite all the ad hoc fun the Divas had, was hoping for more.

Founder and CEO Luke Wronski recalls calling a friend to gut-check the concept. “I have this idea,” he said. “There are options out there, but nothing does everything I want.” The reply became a spark: “This is America. If you can do something better, do it.” So Luke, alongside co-founders Jason Denney and Ryan Richey did just that.
