Fabrics & Materials
Menu
All our bags are built to last, and that starts with using the best materials for the job.
Material durability is vital to keeping our gear going year after year. In each material choice we balance strength, abrasion resistance, waterproofing and weight. 90% of our materials are either made in Europe or the USA, and we are working on having 100% recycled yarn European made fabrics.
