Established in 2000 by Dana Gleason, a leading designer in the backpacking industry for over 30 years, and her business partner Renee Sippel-Baker. We create bags that can be used comfortably by people who use gear to carry heavy loads, and that can withstand harsh conditions. We are constantly evolving, using new technologies and materials, and incorporating the opinions of those who use our gear in the most extreme conditions.
