Ursus arctos middendorffi, the great bears of the North, are said to grow exceptionally large on the remote island of Kodiak, Alaska their species unperturbed for more than 10,000 years and allowed to thrive. While the bears have not changed, we have made some updates to our legacy Kodiak style to offer a larger fit while ensuring it still keeps up with the ever-evolving need for adventure. The larger Kodiak XP offers extra protection and the features you know and love from the top-selling original.
