How Tariff Changes Are Impacting Outdoor Gear—and What Hyggein Is Doing to Protect Our Customers

Date Published

Global Trade Shifts Are Reshaping Outdoor Gear


In recent months, a wave of international tariff adjustments—especially between key manufacturing and consumer countries—has started to ripple across the global outdoor gear industry. For many brands, these changes have led to increased logistics costs, longer supply chain timelines, and unfortunately, rising retail prices.

 

At Hyggein, we know that outdoor gear isn’t just gear. It’s your invitation to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect with life’s simple pleasures. That's why we believe it's our duty not only to offer cozy, minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired products—but also to stand with our community during uncertain economic changes.



Tariffs & Their Real Impact on Outdoor Enthusiasts

 

Tariffs may sound like something that only affects governments and global corporations, but the reality is different. Here's how they trickle down:

Increased production costs → higher import duties on raw materials like aluminum, wood, and textiles.

Longer lead times → caused by supply rerouting or customs delays.

Price volatility → especially for essentials like foldable chairs, sleeping pads, and outdoor lights.

 

For adventurers, families, and minimalists who embrace the hygge lifestyle, these fluctuations risk making the outdoors feel... less accessible.



Our Pledge: Minimal Disruption, Maximum Comfort

 

While we can’t change global policy, we can—and do—make conscious choices in our supply chain and pricing structure to absorb as much cost fluctuation as possible.

 

Here’s what Hyggein is doing:

Strategic Sourcing & Local Warehousing
We’ve expanded warehousing in key markets and optimized supply routes to minimize duties and transit times.

Customs-Smart Packaging
Our packaging is designed to be lighter and more compact—reducing shipping taxes and emissions at the same time.

Price Lock Promise
Where possible, we are maintaining current pricing on our bestsellers such as folding chairscamp lights, and sleeping pads—even when backend costs rise.

Transparent Communication
If a price adjustment becomes unavoidable, we promise to explain why—clearly, honestly, and respectfully.



What This Means for You

 

Whether you're planning a forest escape, backyard hangout, or vanlife adventure, Hyggein will continue to support your outdoor lifestyle without compromise. Our brand is built on the values of coziness, togetherness, and accessibility—and we’re not letting tariffs change that.

 

We invite our community to continue embracing hygge in the outdoors, knowing that we’re doing everything we can to keep that experience easy, affordable, and full of warmth.
