I had the privilege of taking the Stone Glacier Grumman Down Jacket and Pants for a spin, and I'm look forward to sharing my experiences with these pieces of gear. Designed for backcountry hunters, the Grumman Down Jacket and Pants represent the pinnacle of packability, warmth, and protection.

Let's start with the Grumman Goose Down Jacket, a true embodiment of "Ultralight" design. Its Pertex® Quantum shell, combined with HyperDRY™ 850+ Fill Power DWR treated down, makes it a technical insulation piece like no other in the hunting industry. Weighing in at just 11.8 oz. with 5.3 oz. of 90/10 goose down fill, you'd be hard-pressed to find a hunting jacket that matches these stats. Features like a well-fitted hood, reverse coil YKK zippers, and a unique cuff design, along with strategic color blocking for breaking up body symmetry, have made this jacket an absolute favorite here at Stone Glacier.

As for the Grumman Goose Down Pant is its perfect partner, offering the same level of weight reduction and packability. Down hunting pants can be a game-changer in adverse conditions, but traditional options often fall short in terms of packing convenience and field usability. Stone Glacier set out to change that. These pants feature 850+ fill power, HyperDRY™ down insulation, and a Pertex® Quantum shell textile, delivering an incredible warmth-to-weight ratio. The real magic lies in the full-length side-zip, making them virtually disappear in your pack until needed.

With these two in your kit, you're ready for anything. Frigid temperatures when mother nature won't quit? Neither will you. Sub zero nights in the sleeping bag? Layer up with this set. Long glassing sessions on a mountaintop? No problem. These pieces are designed for backcountry hunters who know that staying warm and protected is a game-changer when you're out there.

Join me as I delve into my experiences with the Stone Glacier Grumman Down Jacket and Pants. Let's find out if they truly live up to the hype.
