FOUNDING STORY OF GRANITE GEAR
Some of the best ideas come when you scratch your own itch.Since 1986 Granite Gear has been making award-winning backpacks, adventure travel gear, storage sacks, lifestyle accessories, and canoe gear with superior design and construction after founders Jeff Knight and Dan Cruikshank realized they were going to need better gear.
The Granite Gear Legacy continues with the belief that all outdoor enthusiasts and travelers should have gear that's incredibly durable and comfortable. Located in Northern Minnesota, just minutes from the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the Superior Hiking Trail, their rugged and beautiful testing ground is ideal for perfecting their packs.
