    Lightweight

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

    "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."

    ANDREA

    "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."

    BRENT

    "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."

    / FIELD FAQS

    STRAIGHT
    answers

    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.

    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.
    Priya & Priya 
    (yes, we have the same name. no, we're not sisters)
