About Headwall Sports

Everyone involved with Headwall Sports shares a passion for the outdoors, and makes the conscious choice to build life around nature instead of around a cubicle. We all live within the Jackson Hole ecosystem, with both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks at our fingertips.  A mecca for campers, hikers, bikers, fishermen and women, skiers, snowboarders, and even bird watchers- we work and play outside daily. We are a like-minded community that lives to protect the outdoors. We are all these things, but we also happen to be a store. The common ground is that we want the outdoors to be more accessible to everyone. We are a place to connect, inspire, and explore- Welcome to Headwall Sports!

Origins

Headwall Sports started in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  After reassessing his values post 9/11 in New York City, Sean Doherty moved West, years later purchased the shop, and partnered with Canadian backcountry friend Lorien Gabel. The two men used their skills and passion to carefully guide Headwall into the local staple we see today. Their philosophy and business grew in the following years, surviving a worldwide pandemic. Today the guys continue to recreate outside and share time with others that enjoy the same mindset, always considering which mountain town the next Headwall Sports should call home.

Used outdoor equipment exploded in popularity during the pandemic, when supply of just-manufactured gear was limited. But now that there are so many ways to source vetted, pre-owned supplies—including directly from covetable brands like Patagonia and Arc’teryx—there’s little reason to splurge on new.
