    Perfect size

    This pack has been to colombia, Mexico, U.S., England and Turkey, with more to come. It holds all my essentials i need to keep on me almost all the time while traveling. It is super slim I can layer over it with jackets and it's comfortable. It slides into bags, pockets and harnesses super easy. Most of the time I forget I am wearing it. I will eat full meals and hang out with it still on and it is comfortable making sure I don't put it down and lose it. wear this as a sling versus on the hip

    Happy to be Part of the Rebellion!

    Not only is this product ready to go with me everywhere, it breathes authenticity. Its durability is paralleled by its aged coloring and texture from the use of the glider. Such a great use of the material & the perfect mid-sized hip-bag for notebooks/lenses/etc.

    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 OutspireX.

MEET THE pilots BEHIND YOUR PACK.

"I've gotten to do some cool hike and fly and then camp style stuff and just getting to go and explore new frontiers and things like that. So if anybody could upcycle and take that gear and do something similar with it, that's probably the highlight and is the coolest thing."

/ 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.

WEAR IT TODAY, TOMORROW, ALWAYS. It'll outlast trends.

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 or parachute 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.
