Stone Glacier

Absolutely. Stone Glacier is widely respected in the western hunting community for its commitment to ultralight performance, durability, and field-tested simplicity. Their gear is designed for hunters who cover steep terrain, pack out heavy loads, and demand more from every piece of equipment. From their load-hauling packs to breathable apparel and backcountry shelters, Stone Glacier offers a complete system that’s built to thrive in some of the toughest conditions in North America.

Yes — a majority of Stone Glacier’s gear is made in the United States, including their signature packs, frames, and much of their technical apparel. Domestic manufacturing allows them to maintain tight quality control and ensure consistency across every piece. It’s also part of their commitment to building reliable, long-lasting gear for serious mountain hunters.

Stone Glacier is headquartered in Bozeman, Montana — right in the heart of western big game country. Their gear is developed and tested in the same rugged terrain it’s built for, from high alpine basins to steep timbered ridges. This proximity to wild, demanding landscapes informs every detail of their design process and ensures their products are truly backcountry-proven.

Stone Glacier intentionally designs its apparel and gear in neutral solids rather than traditional camouflage. Their philosophy is that muted, earthy tones break up the human silhouette effectively in most terrain while offering more versatility for scouting, travel, and everyday wear. It also allows hunters to mix and match layers more seamlessly across seasons. For those who value function over flash, the solids approach aligns with Stone Glacier’s minimalist, purpose-driven design ethos.

To get the most life from your gear, always follow the care instructions provided. Apparel should be washed in cold water with technical gear-safe detergent and hung to dry. Packs can be hosed down after packouts or muddy use — avoid harsh cleaners that may degrade coatings or fabric. Zippers, buckles, and frames should be inspected after each hunt. With basic maintenance, Stone Glacier gear is built to last through years of demanding field use.

Absolutely. Stone Glacier packs are built around a load-hauling frame that allows you to carry meat between the frame and the bag, keeping the heaviest weight closest to your body for better balance. Their modular designs let you choose different bag sizes for scouting, multi-day hunts, or expedition trips — all on the same frame. The frame systems are extremely capable, with tested comfort and durability even under 100+ pound loads, making them a favorite among serious western hunters.

Stone Glacier designs its gear with a minimalist, ultralight mindset focused on mountain performance. Every piece — whether a pack, jacket, or shelter — is built to reduce weight without sacrificing durability or functionality. Their products are known for clean designs, efficient layouts, and no-frills reliability in extreme backcountry conditions. This gear is purpose-built for hunters who value performance under load and are willing to go farther and stay longer.
