Industry Spotlight: Radius Outfitters

Radius Outfitters creates high quality, durable, and carefully engineered soft and hard goods that are made for adventure vehicles and the outdoor life. Many of Radius’ bolt-on products utilize otherwise unused space with an emphasis on rolling without rattles. 

Some of Radius’ products, such as the Sprinter Headliner Overhead Shelf and the Sprinter R-Cage Bed System, apply only to the Mercedes Sprinter at this time. However, the majority of the brand’s products apply to a wide variety of uses for the adventurer/overlander. What’s more, they can be appreciated by anyone wanting high-quality storage gear.

Additionally, Radius Outfitters has made it a priority that all of its products are DIY friendly and can be installed or assembled at home using basic skills and tools. For folks wanting full install support Radius has options for that too.

Radius Outfitters was founded based on a love for nomadic life and adventure. Radius’ products were inspired by life on the road, and the need for efficient, high-quality gear. Organizational products like Gear Box, Heavy-Duty Canvas Gear Totes, Camp Kitchen Organizers, and the Heavy-Duty Tool Wrap were designed specifically to store all of your outdoor, camping, and traveling necessities.

Radius created the Sprinter Headliner Overhead Shelf for the high-roof Mercedes Sprinter, as a smart way to make use of wasted storage space above the front seats. This product is the first in the brand’s series of outfit products for the Sprinter. With the provided basic tools, the consumer can install this Gear Loft in 30 minutes with Radius’ instructions. 

In 2021 Radius Outfitters will expand its offerings of outfit components with the Sprinter R-Cage Bed System and Sprinter Radius Roof Racks. 

The Sprinter R-Cage Bed System is a patented tubular aluminum cage that bolts to factory D-rings in the floor. The mattress is split down the middle, allowing both halves to fold up to the walls of the van (with the mattresses in place). This effectively reclaims the cargo volume the Sprinter is known for.

The brand’s Sprinter Radius Roof Racks were developed as an alternative to the very expensive custom fabricated roof racks on the market. Radius uses heavy-duty aerodynamic aluminum extrusion for the crossbars. Radius makes its mounts from billet aluminum. And the brand offers aluminum accessories like decking, solar panel mounts, and a wind deflector.

Later in 2021, Radius will offer several new soft good products, including the Camp Gear Boxes, Heavy-Duty Canvas Gear Totes, Camp Dish Drying Bag, Camp Seatback Laundry Bag, and Camp Seatback Trash Bags.
