Mobi Garden (also written as MOBI GARDEN) is a Chinese outdoor equipment brand specializing in camping, backpacking, hiking, mountaineering, and outdoor lifestyle products. Founded in 2003, the company has become one of China’s best-known outdoor gear manufacturers, offering a wide range of tents, sleeping bags, camping furniture, backpacks, outdoor apparel, and accessories. The brand is recognized for producing professional-grade equipment at relatively accessible prices and has expanded its distribution to dozens of countries worldwide. [1]

Mobi Garden was established in 2003 by a team of outdoor enthusiasts and engineers who believed that outdoor equipment available in China at the time was often too heavy, expensive, or designed primarily for Western environments. Their goal was to create equipment specifically suited for the diverse and demanding mountain conditions found in China.

According to the company, much of its early product development was inspired by the Hengduan Mountains in southwestern China, one of Asia’s most rugged mountain systems. The region became the testing ground for many of the company’s products and remains central to its brand identity. [1]

The company’s first major product was the Cold Mountain backpacking tent, designed to improve ventilation, reduce weight, and provide greater stability compared with existing backpacking tents available in the Chinese market. The tent became a commercial success and established the company’s reputation among hikers and mountaineers. [1]

Over the following two decades, Mobi Garden expanded from a tent manufacturer into a comprehensive outdoor equipment brand with thousands of products covering nearly every aspect of camping and outdoor recreation. [1]

Mobi Garden manufactures equipment across numerous outdoor categories.
