We can boast 20 years of pack and shelter building experience - our designer and founder, Mr. Patrick Smith founded Mountainsmith backpacks way back in 1978, and brings his expertise together with a  lifetime of hunting to Kifaru. You get gear that is custom crafted to professional mountaineering standards - some of the most demanding on earth!  For example, our pack designs use the same comfortable suspensions and styling of those that have conquered Mount Everest. You'll see that we make the most comfortable, durable and versatile hunting backpacks anywhere - with hunting specific features you won't find elsewhere. These revolutionary hunting packs are guaranteed to be the most comfortable, durable and versatile tools you'll own.

Kifaru Hunting Gear is crafted by a "realworld"designer and hunter who spends over half the nights of the year in the field, so Patrick Smith knows a thing or two about living off the land.

Our customers don't hunt from a truck or ATV - they are on foot in rugged, trailess terrain - so equipment failure is simply not an option. That's why our gear is a perfect synthesis of strength, weight savings and efficiency.

We also believe that education is a key to a successful hunt. Check out our message boards for expert advice from the world over.

About us

employees

We're a small company located in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies, and we like it that way. Small means more control over our product and quality assurance. Most of us here are hand picked local craftsmen, accountable for our quality, and close enough to chastise if it's not up to snuff.

 

We've had extensive experience in the outdoor business - both in the field and in the shop, and many of us have gained valuable experience as former employees of Mountainsmith - making and using  Mt. Everest quality mountaineering products.

Every dollar you spend with Kifaru is kept right here in the United States. Instead of fueling foreign economies, we put funds right back into American pockets. The taxes reaped from our sales and salaries support our infrastructure and our communities - not those in Asia or Latin America.

We could go offshore, but we've found from past experience that timelines and quality are often sacrificed. Because of this crew, and Patrick Smith's dedication to this country, our gear is unquestionably the best in the world.
