MADE FROM THE BEST STUFF ON EARTH

No skimping. We use full grain, natural leather. It's the toughest part of the hide with the tightest grain. It's also the most expensive. We choose the "distressed" kind, the one that bears the marks of the cow, so you know it's real. But, after a few years and a few more scratches, it develops a patina that's unique to you. 

The ballistic nylon is super rugged and durable; the same material that bullet-proof vests are made of.

We use a custom-made, 1680 denier ballistic nylon that's abrasion- and water-resistant with colorfastness that withstands prolonged sun exposure. It's not stiff, and looks new even after decades of use.

We worked with our supplier to get it just right so it feels luxurious and fresh after years of use.

We use heavy-duty 15-oz. waxed canvas. It has a naturally rugged, distressed look and can be re-waxed to freshen it up. 

The canvas comes from a reputable mill that has produced these waxed fabrics since 1930. It comes coated with a special original wax that won't require much cleaning. Stains can be wiped off with a damp cloth. 

The high-performance X-Pac® textile is durable, waterproof, and lightweight. Developed by an industry-leading manufacturer of advanced, high-quality sailcloth, the X-Pac® fabric withstands various environmental and physical forces. We're exploring this new material in our Sandbox series of Limited Edition productions.

This high-performance textile is made by weaving together two yarn-dyed nylon threads in a unique basketweave creating a vibrant pattern with undertones. It's a classy look that works well in both professional and casual settings. We use this material in our Sleeves , Nintendo Switch cases, and AirPods Max cases.

For our Packable Bags, we combined Taslan — a modern, high-tech woven fabric that feels good and substantial — with a tricot mesh for structure, and added a water-resistant coating. This durable, lightweight textile can be folded very small or stuffed in a pocket and still look presentable. Feel it with our Packable Bags Collection

We go to great lengths to find buckles that ensure security and also has a bit of fun to it. We use an authentic heavy-duty paragliding buckle that can hold your body weight and releases quickly.

For lighter loads, we use a highly-secure fidlock buckle that's easy to open, if you know how it's done. Two magnets also make it very easy to close. 

After years of selling bags, we knew the kind of performance we required. We designed these industrial-grade snap hooks and had it customized to our specifications. They swivel easily to accommodate body movements, making it easier and more comfortable to carry a bag. Feel the difference when used with our Supreme Suspension Shoulder Strap. 

We use this convenient Fidlock Magnetic Quick-Release Buckle for our Hip Sling Bags. The magnets quickly find each other for a secure closure, and it's difficult for strangers to pry it open if they didn't know how.

These zipper pulls are easy to grip and slide. Their black coating won't scratch off. When paired with waterproof zippers, they make a very elegant match.

Double zipper pulls are useful when you need to access items from either right or left, top or bottom. These custom-made pulls can be secured with a lock to prevent access to a bag's contents.

We've been using this eye-popping, golden rod-colored nylon liner since our first bags in 1998. We've found the color to be quite  helpful in improving the visibility of the interior of backpacks, briefcases, messenger bags, etc. 

We use a very soft liner for our Sleeves to keep your device protected and cushions the sleek metal from accidental bumps and dings. Put your hand inside one of the Dash Sleeves, and you'll be impressed with the heavenly-soft feel inside. 

We use thick neoprene as a liner in our custom-fit SleeveCases, gaming cases, and other gear cases. It helps absorb shock and its smoothness is ideal for slipping a naked laptop into and out of a tight-fitting case. 

The Suspreme Suspension Strap helps lighten heavy loads. Stretchy on one side using 4mm textured neoprene, the other side has a rubbery grip to keep it from sliding off your shoulders. You can feel the difference the heavier your load is.

Straps with cam-locks lets you adjust the bag while it's on your body. You avoid having to repeatedly take off/ put on your bag just to get the proper length. It's a small detail that comes in very handy when you're in a hurry.

To keep the Sling centered on your back for more stability, the strap pivots according to your movement. This prevents the bag from sliding back and forth on your back. Feel the difference in the Sutter Tech Sling.

The straps on the Outback Solo are designed so the bag hangs comfortably against your body. Because it is both a standalone Sleeve and a shoulder bag, the strap neatly tucks away when not in use.

When we developed the Hip Sling bag, we realized that the straps presented a challenge — it was not one size fits all. So we designed two sizes so the bag sits on your body comfortably when worn as a sling or a hip bag.

It's a small detail, but one that will immensely make your bike ride more comfortable. The Cycling Strap keeps your messenger bag on your back as you ride so that it doesn't fall in front of you. Ideal for the Essential Messenger Laptop Bag and Vitesse Messenger Bag.
