About Us

A little about us!

CPGear is a family-owned business that has been designing and producing unique field gear for over 30 years. Started by Mark Wheeler back in 1983 while he was stationed at CFB Lahr, Germany. The lack of practical and rugged field kit spurred him into designing products for his own use. This lead to producing military gear for fellow soldiers and then into a part-time business, using the high quality military spec. materials available and employing local German sewers.

After leaving the Forces in 1985, the Wheelers relocated to New Brunswick, Canada. They established their factory in Fredericton, a 10 min drive from CFB Gagetown, Oromocto. This is where a good portion of the Combat Arms training takes place in Canada. This close proximity to the Training Base has ensured a constant input of fresh ideas from experienced soldiers visiting the Factory Store.
