Black Bear Mountaineering is located at 8,058 ft in the heart of California’s Sierra Nevada mountains near the small town of Mammoth Lakes. We are an independent outdoor gear company dedicated to providing high quality products that simply work.

While our gear is designed to meet the extreme challenges Mother Nature can throw at you, and is tested in some of the world’s most rugged mountains, our main priorities are comfort, usability and reliability. From the mountaineer standing on top of a high peak to the recreationist exploring a local parkland, our gear will meet your needs. With this in mind, we stand behind every item we sell. If you’re not satisfied, simply contact us and we’ll make it right.

*Our team at Black Bear Mountaineering loves the great outdoors. Every single image on this site was taken by a team member enjoying nature in their Best Darn Hiking Shirt.
