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.

"It really is an “In flight sidekick”. Was able to have my keys, wallet, chapstick, etc with me easily and accessible. Never noticed it launching, flying, or landing.

"I didn't even realize I was wearing it until I went to post pics! That's how second nature it's become."

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
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.
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.
It is so well made, and you can feel the quality of the bag.
