Stone Glacier
Stone Glacier Kiowa 3200
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.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓Designed with retired Marine sniper Caylen Wojcik, giving it a genuine dual identity — Rokslide and Sniper's Hide members run it as both a mountain day pack and an NRL/PRS range bag, a crossover no other SG pack attempts.
- ✓The unique zipper layout lets the bag lie on its back and open completely flat, so it loads and unloads like a duffel — dramatically easier to organize than the top-loading Avail 2200.
- ✓Swallows huge optics: the internal spotting scope pocket fits a Swarovski 95 mm BTX, demonstrated with photos in the Rokslide owner thread.
- ✓At 52 L it's the largest standalone Stone Glacier day pack — the exact upgrade Avail 2200 owners on Rokslide say they wished they'd bought for a do-it-all bag.
- ✓Full hook-and-loop interior back panel accepts SG's Cordura Camp Pocket for customizable modular storage, a feature borrowed from range-bag design.
- ✓Berry-compliant 500D Mil-Spec Cordura is the most abrasion-proof fabric in SG's day line, with the highest on-site rating at scale (4.9 stars over 61 reviews).
- ✓Genuinely travel-friendly — SG staff use it as their laptop/travel bag, and frequent flyers in the Rokslide thread confirm it fits overhead bins.
- ✓The substantial waist belt is fully removable, converting it into a clean carry-on or range silhouette when hip transfer isn't needed.
Cons
- ✗Heaviest day pack SG makes at 4 lb 1 oz — over a pound more than the newer 42 L Tokeen despite similar duty, and triple the weight of SG's frameless Solo bag.
- ✗No load shelf and it doesn't haul meat — packing out an animal still requires a separate Krux/Xcurve frame, unlike an Exo K3 that has the frame built in.
- ✗No hip-belt pockets included; snacks, rangefinder, and ammo pouches are all add-on purchases.
- ✗No external water-bottle pockets and the Hydro Sleeve is sold separately — the same hydration gripe that runs through the whole SG day-pack line.
- ✗500D Cordura is heavier and less weather-resistant than the waterproof ULTRA fabric SG now uses on the Tokeen and Terminus.
- ✗One-size suspension with no torso-length adjustment and modest load lift from the frame sheet — tall hunters get less structure than a stay-framed pack provides.
- ✗Currently sold in a single Foliage colorway.
- ✗Range-oriented touches (full loop panel, tactical heritage) add ounces and a crossover aesthetic that hunters who just want a lean mountain pack may not love.

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.

Stone Glacier Approach 2800
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.
