50 Years of Obsessing Over Warmth
"I had just finished my PhD and was a research scientist at NASA. I had bought a new nylon tent and backpack, but with the application of a little “science”, I knew that I could do better. I hand made my first down jacket, down pants a shell parka and a winter bag. After seeing my gear, my mountaineering club friends all wanted me to custom make gear for them.
And so I did - Gryphon Gear® was born!"
- Dr. Gary Benninger
