BEAR Magazine in Print

BEAR, the iconic magazine that defined a generation of rugged, furry masculinity, is returning to print this September after 15 years away.

Pre-orders open at the end of August, giving fans the chance to reserve the first issue and take out subscriptions at the lowest prices they’ll ever be offered. The new quarterly BEAR will be available online, at major bear events and in limited retail stores.

Keep checking back here for the latest news as we prepare to launch this exciting new iteration of this iconic brand.
