Stone Glacier Avail 2200

The Avail 2200 is Stone Glacier's $320 all-season standalone day pack: 2,200 cubic inches (36 L) at 3 lb 0.8 oz with its own internal frame and suspension. Five pockets, internal sleeves for a spotter or snow-safety gear, an external compression panel, and A-frame/cross ski carry make it as much a ski-touring and travel pack as a hunting pack, and at 20.5 x 12 x 8 inches it meets TSA carry-on rules. It is the least expensive entry point into the Stone Glacier line.

Pros

  • ✓The most-reviewed pack Stone Glacier sells — 4.9 stars across 221 on-site reviews — and even owners who ultimately sold theirs concede it is 'VERY well built' with no durability complaints.
  • ✓Genuinely multi-sport: internal organization sized for a spotting scope or avalanche probe and shovel, ice-tool attachments, and A-frame or cross ski carry make it one pack for hunting, skiing, and climbing — GearJunkie's tester used it for everything from shed hunting to glacier hikes.
  • ✓TSA carry-on dimensions (20.5 x 12 x 8 in) plus a slim laptop-friendly front pocket — many owners run it as their daily commuter and travel bag between seasons.
  • ✓The external compression panel swallows a shed layer, rain shell, or tripod in seconds without opening the main bag.
  • ✓The bag detaches from its suspension and mates to SG's Krux/Xcurve frames — one elk hunter runs his on a Krux so a day hunt can end with a meat haul instead of a second trip.
  • ✓500D Cordura and X-Pac with YKK #10 zippers is a far burlier fabric package than mainstream day packs like Osprey Talons at a similar weight.
  • ✓At $320 it undercuts comparable Kifaru and Mystery Ranch day packs while being made in the USA.
  • ✓Five-pocket organization is enough for most day hunters — an Iowa saddle hunter reported plenty of room and good organization for all-day whitetail sits.

Cons

  • ✗No external water-bottle pockets — a common owner complaint; there is no way to securely stash a Nalgene outside the bag.
  • ✗Hydration is 'compatible' only — the Hydro Sleeve is sold separately, and several owners actively dislike SG's Hydro Holster bottle solution.
  • ✗One-size suspension with no torso-length adjustment, unlike SG's frame packs — fit is take-it-or-leave-it for very short or tall hunters.
  • ✗No load shelf or meat-hauling ability standalone — packing out even a deer means buying a $399 Krux frame or making a second trip.
  • ✗Eastern treestand hunters found it awkward next to an Exo K3 1800, whose drop-bag frame carries a stand and sticks — more than one whitetail-hunting owner switched away for that reason.
  • ✗Cordura and zipper noise is noticeable in quiet late-season settings — a saddle hunter noted getting gear out is 'a little noisy' without care.
  • ✗36 L is 'barely big enough' as a do-everything pack per owners, several of whom wished they had bought the 52 L Kiowa 3200 instead.
  • ✗Kuiu's Venture 2300 regularly undercuts it on sale (~$160) with better bow and stick carry features, making the Avail a harder value case for archery hunters.

Common Questions

Stone Glacier Kiowa 3200
~$350
Hunting Pack

The Kiowa 3200 is Stone Glacier's long-running 3,200 ci (52 L) standalone day pack, developed with retired Marine sniper Caylen Wojcik to work equally as a front-country hunting pack and a range bag. An internal frame sheet and a substantial removable belt carry heavy day loads, while a lay-flat clamshell zipper opens the bag completely for duffel-style loading. It is built from Berry-compliant 500D Mil-Spec Cordura and made in the USA.

Stone Glacier Tokeen 2600
~$350
Hunting Pack

The Tokeen 2600 is a 2,600 ci (42 L) minimalist day pack built on the chassis of Stone Glacier's ultralight Terminus packs, weighing 2 lb 15 oz with a removable carbon-stay frame sheet and removable one-size belt. The waterproof SG ULTRA (UHMWPE) and X-Pac construction is the same fabric package as the flagship Terminus at half the price. It is aimed at scouting, day hunts, and everyday use, with a hydration port and tri-slide points for SG's accessory pockets.

Stone Glacier Approach 2800
~$675
Hunting Pack

The Approach 2800 is Stone Glacier's flagship day-hunting bag sold as a $675 complete system on your choice of the Krux or Xcurve full meat-hauling frame (the 1 lb 5 oz bag alone rides on any SG frame). The 2,800 ci (46 L) full-panel-zip bag sits over an expandable 2,500+ ci load shelf with a 150+ lb load rating, so a day hunt can turn into a pack-out without a return trip. It carries a spotting scope up to a 115 mm objective in a dedicated external pocket with a tripod attachment system.

Stone Glacier Solo 3600
~$675
Hunting Pack

Inspired by solo sheep hunts in Alaska, the Solo 3600 is Stone Glacier's best-selling minimalist multi-day bag: 3,600 ci (59 L) with an integrated differential-cut spotting scope pocket, sold complete on the Krux or Xcurve frame for $675. Despite a 4 lb 2 oz complete weight it is rated for 150+ lb loads, and the 2,500+ ci expandable load shelf grows the system past 6,000 ci — sized to haul a boned-out sheep or elk quarters. Stone Glacier calls it 'an ultralight backpack using no ultralight materials.'

The Col 4800 is Stone Glacier's feature-rich mid-size bag, a 4,800 ci (79 L) evolution of the best-selling Solo that adds compartmental storage, an internal spotting-scope pocket, and tri-slide accessory attachment points. Sold as a complete system on the Krux or Xcurve carbon-stay frame for $699, it carries 150+ lbs and expands via a 2,500+ ci load shelf for hauling quarters. It targets 3-5 day archery hunts through late-season day hunts with bulky cold-weather gear.

Stone Glacier Terminus 7000
~$699
Hunting Pack

The Terminus 7000 is Stone Glacier's ultralight expedition pack for sheep and goat hunters: 7,000 cubic inches (115 L including the 500 ci lid) at just 3 lb 15 oz, with the bag sewn directly to a 26-inch carbon-stay frame rated for 150+ lb loads. A 2,200 ci collapsible internal load cell positions boned-out meat against the frame, and the main bag compresses to 4,300 ci in bivy mode for day hunts. The main bag uses SG's waterproof ULTRA fabric, a UHMWPE blend developed with Challenge Sailcloth.
