Karmik Outdoors provides outdoorsmen and women a reliable method of preventing the indefinite loss of outdoor recreational gear. We sell badges equipped with QR codes that you affix to your outdoor gear so that the gear is identifiable for return if lost, thus enabling you to take on your next outdoor adventure.

The Karmik Outdoors return incentive is built into each badge you purchase and activate. When someone returns your lost gear, the individual will be provided with the following to reward them for their good deed:
  • A Karmik Outdoors Expedition Pack
  • Entry into monthly drawing for a ‘smaller’ prize
  • Entry into an annual drawing for a ‘larger’ prize
  • Good Karm
  • You can reward the finder with whatever you want

Our ultra durable badges are always legible and scannable unlike a Sharpie or cheap sticker. They are built for adventure and will not rub off, chip, fade and are 100% waterproof. Our technology ensures your necessary information is attached to your badge. Anyone who finds your gear can easily contact you to give it back.

Yes! If you purchased a co-branded item or badge, we connect you directly with the company to simplify your registration process. This also helps you build a deeper connection with both the product and the brand. See our Privacy Policy for more information.

Karmik badges are built to last and are designed to stay with your gear. If you decide to sell your item, no problem! Simply log in to your Karmik account and deregister the badge. This allows the new owner to register it for FREE. Instead of defacing your gear with a Sharpie, the badge becomes a selling feature, adding value to your item!
