Awesome bag

Bought this hip bag while visiting Soboba. Owners of Outspirex where very friendly and informative. I ended up buying a bag that tells you who the pilot used to be (very cool). I use it when speedflying to hold my keys, phone, wallet, and other important items that could fall out of my pockets. Its light and I really like the dual pockets. Its very well made, and I look forward to the new backpack being released. Thanx Outpirex.

/ STRAIGHT ANSWERS

FREQUENTLY ASKED questions

WILL MY SIDEKICK LOOK LIKE THE PHOTOS?

Each is cut from a different retired canopy. You'll receive the color scheme you selected, but patches, panel placement, and contrast will vary. You're buying a one-of-one.

CAN I CHOOSE THE PILOT WHOSE WING MADE MY PACK?

Check the description to see if the bag comes with a Pilot Legacy Tag. If so, you'll see the name of the pilot whose wing was used to make your pack.

IS IT WATERPROOF?

Weather-resistant. Ripstop sheds rain and snow; submerge it and water will eventually find a seam. It was built for sky, not lakes.

DO YOU SHIP OUTSIDE OF THE US?

We're working on it! But at this time, we only ship within the United States.

GEAR WITH HISTORY

Every bag was once a paraglider that flew through the sky.

A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDERS

OutspireX started with a simple belief: just because gear can’t fly anymore doesn’t mean it’s done.
 

Every bag you’re looking at was once a paraglider that carried someone through the sky. We rescue these high-performance materials before they become waste, then rebuild them by hand into ultralight gear designed for life on the ground.

No two pieces are the same. Each one carries a past, a story, and a second chance at adventure.

 

When you carry this bag, you’re not just choosing better materials, you’re choosing to adventure with intention.
 

Thanks for being part of the rebellion.
