More than just creative...

 Granite Gear’s mission from the beginning has been to bring innovations to outdoor gear. The most basic definition of innovation is to make something new that can be considered creative, but to us it means something more. Creativity in outdoor gear is certainly a good thing, but only when it leads to gear that works well and can hold up to the rigors of its intended purpose. Having new, creative ideas for outdoor gear leads to products that look cool and have shelf appeal, but it’s the follow through that leads to gear that performs well for a very long time. The way we think of it “innovation” stands the test of time, and tells us whether an idea was just a marketing gimmick or whether it changes the way people enjoy the outdoors. The bottom line for us is that we are passionate about innovation! We care about what comes after the new creative idea. Granite Gear is about outdoor gear that really works… out there, where it really matters! Your adventures are too important to be fooled by fashion and marketing! Get the gear that’s designed and built for performance. Get the gear that’s done right!

  Granite Gear has taken their innovated designs to another level in the development of Granite Tactical Gear! Working hand in hand with members and veterans of our Armed Forces, Granite Gear has been able to design, test and develop some of the finest  tactical equipment built to date. Granite Tactical Gear does not believe that copying others equipment, cutting corners for ease of manufacturing or changing the color is considered development. All of Granite Gears design for their backpacks are based off of their award winning concepts that have made Granite Gear the ultimate choice for those tackling the Appalachian Trail and other rigorous adventures around the globe. So whether you are rock climbing, rappelling or jumping out of perfectly good aircraft, Granite Tactical Gear's equipment will surely meet or exceed any your expectations. As you read this, the designers at Granite Gear are hard at work developing many other tactical items to ensure that you can operate at your peak performance! To those who put their lives on the line daily to protect the freedom of this great nation, we thank you.
