END OF THE ROAD… SORT OF!

  • All remaining items on clearance sale with FREE SHIPPING!

  • The Nightfall Overland brand is being retired

  • Some Nightfall products will continue to be made under another name

As you learned here a couple weeks ago (see below), I recently assumed full ownership of Nightfall Overland as part of our overall company. Nightfall has always been secondary to our initial brand - Bedrock Bags - and that’s where my focus has been these last weeks. I am committed to continuing building gear here in the USA, but I believe the best way forward is by consolidating our offerings and efforts. So: Nightfall Overland will be retired as a public brand. As I get production running again, I will bring some of Nightfall’s existing products back into production, just not under the Nightfall Overland name!

For the foreseeable future, the Nightfall Overland website will remain active. We have a large backstock of pre-built, Made In The USA items - window shades, organizers, firepans, and more - and this site will serve as the clearinghouse for those items, at clearance-sale prices!

We’ve heavily discounted every item we have remaining in stock, and made free shipping the default for all orders. Obviously, all sales are final. We’ll ship once a week, on Mondays. If you’ve been looking at our gear, now is the time to pull the trigger - and reap massive savings!

See you around the bend,
-Joey

MAJOR CHANGES ARE ON THE WAY - AND WE’RE STOKED!

The short version:

  • Hi, I’m Joey. I’ve worked with most of you over the years!

  • This week, I became sole owner of Nightfall, after years as co-owner.

  • The outdoor industry is suffering and we’re no exception - even so, we could have done things better. We’ve been a little stagnant.

  • I still believe in our top-notch, Made in the USA mission, and I’m re-committing to that mission now.

  • Expect updates on the changes ahead. I’ll re-open orders ASAP.

  • THANK YOU for making Nightfall possible since 2018!

The long version:

If you’ve ever dealt with Nightfall, it’s very likely that we’ve worked together. My name’s Joey, and I’m familiar with many of you. Whether answering your product questions, designing and testing new ideas, building your product, or shipping your orders, I’ve been involved in every step of our business at some point over the years. It’s been an amazing ride - thank all of you for using and enjoying our gear.

After many years as co-owner, this week I became sole owner of Nightfall. The outdoor industry is in a rough spot right now. I’ve been in the outdoor industry since 1997 - in all those years, I’ve never seen it in such bad shape. Like many small companies, Nightfall has been struggling. Industry problems aside, there are things we could have done better - we’ve been a little stagnant.

Through these last few difficult months, I realized I wasn’t willing to let my company go under. I still believe in our mission of building top-notch outdoor gear in America. By becoming sole owner, I’m re-committing to our mission. What you can expect - I’ll be keeping you updated as I make changes. I’ll open orders back up as soon as I’m able. And those “big changes”… you’ll find out soon enough!

Many thanks to our crew over the years. And huge thanks to you, our customers - we wouldn’t be here without you. I’m looking forward to creating the next chapter!
