| About ZPacks |
ZPacks is run by me, Joe Valesko. I have been backpacking and
building my own gear since the 90's. I started ZPacks.com in early
2005 after finishing my 2004 Appalachian Trail thru-hike.
As of 2010 I am working on gear full time, and my fiancé Sheryl is
now helping with operations. We don't have any other employees and
everything is built right here. We take your orders, build
your gear, and ship it out. Gear is often custom made right when
you order, and usually ships in just a day or two.
We are originally from upstate NY, but currently located in Palm
Bay, FL 32909.Some of
