Shore-Tex
Premium, sustainable gear made of 100% recycled plastics
Shore-Tex™
Starting in 2017, we began working to build a supply chain for commercial scale plastic collection from beaches and riverways.
Shore-Tex™ is fabric made entirely of recycled plastic and can be found in the shell and lining fabric on our backpacks and accessories, and the lining fabric and closet system on our luggage.
How is Shore-Tex™ made?
We collect plastic from beaches and riverways.
The plastic is sorted and cleaned
The plastic is broken down into flakes and pellets.
Then it’s stretched into yarn and wound up.
The material is then woven into Shore-Tex™ Fabric.
World Changing Ideas Awards
Shore-Tex™ upcycled ocean-bound and reclaimed plastic collection has been selected as a finalist in Fast Company's World Changing Ideas and won the Anthem Award for the Sustainability, Environement, & Climate Product category.
Sustainable and intentionally designed.
Ready for the next adventure.
Power when you need it most.
Style that doesn't blend in.
Why Shore-Tex is so important
We’ve only got one planet earth, so we decided to do something to make sure we’ve still got one for the kids—without sacrificing quality. Sustainable, and intentionally designed bags for your every day needs.

Why We Made It
We seek work/life/travel balance, so we designed a backpack that can go from weeklong to weekend mode with dedicated Lifezone and Workzone.
Sleek, stylish and sustainable, the expandable zipper offers flexibility to pack light, or expand as needed. Like our award-winning Carry-On Closet, the Venture comes with a FlowCloset™, our removable hanging closet to keep a week’s worth of clothes organized and easily accessible.
We’ve traveled far and wide, tweaked and tested, to perfect our multi-tasking everyday and travel day companion. Travel everywhere and work anywhere.
