To empower outdoor enthusiasts with rugged, durable products that deliver premium performance at accessible price points, allowing more people to explore the outdoors.
We were founded in 1987 by a group of avid hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts who were dissatisfied with the quality of affordable outdoor gear. They believed that just because a product has a low price tag doesn't mean it should be cheaply made. So we set out to create rugged outdoor equipment for everyone, regardless of budget. That commitment to value has driven us ever since.
Over the decades, we've continued expanding our catalog with innovative new products while staying true to our outdoor roots. What started with performance fishing shirts expanded into a complete outdoor catalog—coolers, boots, tents, waders, backpacks, and chairs. Each new category was designed with the same principle: field-test it, refine it, then release it. Today, our gear ships across the country to bass fishermen in Texas, elk hunters in Colorado, family campers in the Ozarks, and kayak anglers along the Southeast coast.
Named after Ferdinand Magellan, the famed explorer who circumnavigated the globe, our brand embodies that same spirit of discovery and resilience. We are an exclusive brand of Academy Sports + Outdoors, available at their store locations and through their official website. Every product we make bears our promise of quality materials, thoughtful design, and rugged durability at an accessible price point.
At the core of Magellan Outdoors is MagWick moisture-wicking technology combined with MagFresh anti-odor fabric treatment.
