INVESTING IN THE BEST

Frost River is reducing waste by investing in manufacturing tools and developing processes to find the most significant efficiencies, from our computer-aided cutting to kitting of components for faster, more accurate assembly. Our team of talented individuals skillfully operates specialized industrial sewing machines and WWII-era riveting machines. They are no strangers to rolling up their sleeves and employing some elbow grease, combining waxed canvas and leather layers into three-dimensional, functional, and downright beautiful packs and bags.

When you invest in a Frost River made-in-the-USA item, you’re not just getting gear that’s handcrafted and locally made; you’re getting an item made with intent. Every strap, snap, buckle, and piece of waxed canvas or premium leather is sustainably sourced and designed to last a lifetime. Our goods can be repaired if ever needed, and we believe so strongly in the quality of our goods; we back them with a lifetime guarantee.

Because we build products for use in the outdoors, it is only logical that we also have a solid ethic towards preservation and conservation. We have recently completed a substantial investment into renewable solar energy with over 90 solar panels located on a newly-constructed roof structure of our vintage building, designed to hold the weight of these panels. The sun’s powerful rays generate clean, renewable energy to power the entirety of Frost River’s manufacturing facility.

Going Solar

“Transitioning to a solar-powered business is important, not only to embrace our belief in being the most sustainable and self-reliant we can be, but it also means creating a renewable, clean energy source with the latest technologies. When you make reliable soft goods that can last a lifetime, we must do what we can to be thoughtful about our impact, not just on nature but on generating the least amount of waste possible,” said Christian Benson, Frost River, President, and Owner.

GETTING YOU THERE & BACK AGAIN
