About Discovery Trekking Outfitters

Discovery Trekking Outfitters (DTO) is a privately owned family company, manufacturing innovative products for outdoors, sports, travel, and special markets.

From our Fast-Dry towels, to moisture-managing Hot Flash bedding and sleepwear, to a protective Saddle Skirt for equestrians, DTO blazes the innovation trail. ”Why didn’t I think of that?” is the response from thousands of our customers!

Our Extreme Ultralite Towel is featured in Backpacker Magazine’s Essential Gear guide. This towel received a “Functional Excellence” rating from SNEWS, the top US Gear Reviewer.

We proudly make our products in North America and base our success on building and maintaining strong relationships with our stakeholders.

Located in Campbell River, British Columbia, owner and founder Leslie Hanes continues to develop products that fill a need. We get many of our best ideas from listening and interacting with customers. Our products reflect this philosophy.
