How we make it

Each pack has a serial number stitched in, and the parts to repair it stay in stock. Orders go out from Sarasota within 2 business days. Not right? Send it back within 30 days.

A short range, made again and again

We carry 13 pieces across 4 categories, between $25.00 and $150.00. Outdoor ranges grow long because a fresh colourway costs less than a new pattern. Ours stays short so that every seam has been walked on, rained on and unpicked a few times before it ships. Making the same eleven pieces repeatedly is also what lets us keep the parts to fix them in five years.

Materials

Ripstop nylon and waxed cotton canvas for the packs, a three-layer membrane for the shells, and hardware from two suppliers we have used long enough to know which buckle fails first. Where a piece can be made in one fabric instead of three, it is — laminated panels look technical and delaminate on schedule.

Repair

Every pack carries a serial number stitched into the back panel, and we hold zip sliders, buckles, webbing and shoulder strap foam for every piece we have ever sold. Send it back and we will quote the repair before doing it. A pack that comes back for a new hipbelt at year six is the entire point of the exercise.
