If we have any hope of a thriving planet—much less a business—it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have. This is what we can do.
Our outdoor gear is made for long days outside. We make waterproof bags, hiking backpacks, rugged travel duffels and packing cubes for organizing, all built to handle use and abuse on the trail and on the road.
Tough, durable materials, exacting construction and multifunctional designs ensure our gear will last, trip after trip.
Packs, Duffels and Carry Systems
The right bag makes it easier to move through the day when you have a full load of gear to carry. Our hiking backpacks and travel bags balance load support and protection with smart storage and pockets, so you can keep essential layers, food and tools close at hand and easy to grab when needed. Some styles have adjustable waistbelts and padded shoulder straps, while others have handy compression straps—these features can help stabilize the load or keep you comfortable on the move.
Find streamlined daypacks, large-capacity duffels and more in our backpacks and duffel bags collections. Depending on the end use, our bags have tuck-away straps, reinforced grab handles and weather-resistant fabrics that stand up to everything from easygoing day hikes to long expeditions and technical backcountry travel.
Technical Gear Works Hard
Waterproof and water-resistant shells, packs and accessories are designed to keep out the elements to maintain your comfort and protect essential gear. Waterproof/breathable membranes, sealed seams, coated zippers and durable fabrics protect against showers, spray and snow.
When a fully waterproof kit is more than you need, consider our water-resistant gear for light-precip protection that’s durable, functional and easy to carry.
Keep Gear In Play Longer
Good gear can see many seasons of use with proper care, like regular cleaning to restore waterproof and water-resistant finishes. We design our gear to be fixed up rather than thrown out, and careful washing and simple repair supplies like peel-and-stick patches help extend its life. Our gear care collection includes detergents, re-waterproofing treatments and field-fix tools to help you look after the equipment you already own.
When something is worn but still has miles left, repair and reuse come first. For limited-time values on past-season and overstock pieces, check the web specials on gear. Choose the equipment you need, use it and keep it in play.
FAQ
What is the difference between waterproof and water-resistant products?
Waterproof products are designed to fully block water from penetrating, even through heavy rain, full immersion or prolonged exposure. They typically use sealed seams, durable water repellent finishes (DWR) and waterproof or waterproof/breathable fabrics to keep moisture out. Water-resistant products are built to repel light moisture but are not intended for sustained exposure or seriously wet conditions. They’re better suited for brief light rain or showers, light splashes, or damp and foggy environments.
How do I choose the right size hiking backpack?
To choose a hiking backpack size, match the pack volume to the length of your trips and how much you need to carry. Day hikes usually call for a smaller pack that holds layers, food, and safety gear, while overnight or multiday trips need more volume for a sleep system, stove and extra clothing. Make sure the torso length and hip belt fit your body so the load sits comfortably on your hips instead of pulling on your shoulders.
What should I look for in outdoor travel luggage?
For outdoor travel luggage, look for durable fabrics, reinforced stitching and hardware that can withstand rough handling. Tough, weather-resistant materials help keep gear protected from dirt, grit, unexpected weather, and wear and tear from baggage-handling equipment. Our Black Hole® collection features multiple grab points, heavy-duty haul handles and convertible straps that make it easier to move from trains and buses to crowded terminals or long walks to where you’re posting up for the night.
What makes technical gear different from everyday gear?
Technical gear is designed around performance for specific sports like climbing, mountain biking, fly fishing, surfing, trail running or skiing and snowboarding. To meet sport demands, technical gear needs to provide weather protection, breathability and freedom of movement while adapting to energy output. Technical gear can also feature fast-drying fabrics or waterproof/breathable membranes, articulated patterning and purpose-built pocket layouts to work for specific sports in changing conditions. In contrast, most everyday, nontechnical or basic gear focuses on casual use and all-purpose versatility.
How long should durable gear last?
Durable gear should last for many years—or even generations—when it’s used as intended and properly cared for. Tough fabrics, reinforced stitching and repairable construction help jackets, packs and bags stand up to repeated trips, heavy loads and changing weather. Regular cleaning, occasional re-waterproofing and fixing small issues early can significantly extend the life of your equipment.
