Materials & Construction

We choose materials for durability, weight, and performance. Every component—from zippers to shells—is specified to meet our standards.

Materials we use

Hardshell luggage

Lightweight, impact-resistant, and scratch-resistant. Our carry-ons and checked luggage use these shells for durability without extra weight.

Backpacks, high-wear areas

Used in our Commuter Pro and hiking packs. Resists abrasion and tears, and holds up to daily use and travel.

Outdoor backpacks

Light and strong. Our hiking backpacks use ripstop for the main body, with reinforced stitching at stress points.

All products

We specify YKK zippers across the range for reliable opening and closing, season after season.

Totes, linings

Where appropriate, we use recycled polyester for linings and soft goods to reduce virgin material use.

Across luggage and bags, we apply consistent construction practices to ensure longevity.
