Kolpin Outdoors

What Kolpin Outdoors does

Kolpin Outdoors is an aftermarket manufacturer of physical accessories for ATVs and UTVs/side-by-sides, founded over 80 years ago and headquartered in Plymouth, Minnesota. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Polaris Inc. (NYSE: PII), and its product portfolio is organized around two functional pillars: (1) gear protection and transport, including the Rhino Grips modular mounting system (six variants), Stronghold and Classic Gun Boots for firearm transport, gun racks and saw transport; and (2) vehicle equipment, including snow plow systems (with a Build-A-Plow configurator), Kolpin Quick-Mount and standard winches, UTV windshields in glass/tilting/fixed variants, UTV roofs in steel/poly/aluminum, storage boxes and dry bags, hitches, and the DirtWorks 3-point hitch system with implements. Products are engineered for demanding outdoor environments and carry vehicle-specific fitment guides for Polaris, Can-Am, Honda, Yamaha, and Arctic Cat platforms.

The business model is one-time hardware sales with unit pricing ranging from $9.50 to $799.99; revenue is generated through a Polaris-aligned authorized dealer network with Silver/Gold/Platinum certification tiers, supplemented by an international shipping option for customers outside the U.S. Kolpin runs no direct-to-consumer storefront beyond its product information/fitment site, instead routing buyers to dealers via a locator tool. Target customer segments are ATV/UTV enthusiasts, hunters (gun transport use case), and ranchers/landowners (DirtWorks implement use case). The company employs 51-100 people, is privately held under Polaris, and has no independent funding history or disclosed revenue.
