Top Hunting Backpack Brands
Made in the USA

By Matt Mullins – updated June 22, 2024

Fortunately there are plenty of top quality hunting backpacks proudly made in the USA still supporting American jobs. You may have heard about some American-made hunting packs like Stone Glacier or Kifaru being used on your favorite hunting shows such as MeatEater. Here I’ve created a directory to more American made hunting packs and where you can find them.

Exo Mountain Gear

Exo Mountain gear crafts premium titanium frame backcountry hunting packs. Their K3 4800 is the hunting backpack that I use and love. Where to find them:

Kifaru

Kifaru is best known for their rugged and comfortable backcountry hunting backpacks. They also make premium ultralight tarp tents, tipis, and sleeping bags. Where to find them:

Mountain Ridge Gear

Mountain Ridge Gear makes hunting saddle bags and burro panniers in the USA. You might not know that I grew up with horses and hunted by horsepacking deep into the Uinta Mountains as a kid.

Seek Outside makes lightweight hunting backpacks in Grand Junction, Colorado with the latest materials such as UltraPE 400 which is ultra lightweight, durable, and waterproof. This brand is also known for building lightweight hot tents sporting titanium stoves to warm up from the cold. Where to find them:

Stone Glacier

You might have heard about Stone Glacier from the MeatEater show and podcast with Steven Rinella. Stone Glacier still makes their high quality hunting backpacks in the USA. However, they also have a line of tents and apparel, but it looks like that’s all imported. Where to find them:
