Tom Bihn has been designing and making bags for well over 20 years. Tom designs all TOM
BIHN bags. You'll often find him in our Seattle factory consulting with our sewing crew,
designing a new bag, or making patterns.
Tough Traveler's backpacks are well-known for their superior durability, excellent
workmanship and materials, designed in convenient sizes, shapes, and colors, so you can pick a
backpack for your adventure, travel, or everyday use.
Kifaru We've had extensive experience in the outdoor business - both in the field and in the
shop, and many of us have gained valuable experience as former employees of Mountainsmith -
making and using Mt. Everest quality mountaineering products. Every dollar you spend with
Kifaru is kept right here in the United States. Instead of fueling foreign economies, we put funds
right back into American pockets. The taxes reaped from our sales and salaries support our
infrastructure and our communities - not those in Asia or Latin America. We could go offshore,
but we've found from past experience that timelines and quality are often sacrificed. Because of
this crew, and Patrick Smith's dedication to this country, our gear is unquestionably the best in
the world.
VinniBag is a reusable travel bag with inflatable air chambers that protect and insulate wine

VinniBag is eco friendly
Mountain Ridge Gear, LLC MRG makes high quality, American made gear. I spent more than
21 years in the Air Force and developed an affinity for quality gear that was NOT made in
China. I have traveled extensively and have gone through numerous bags that didn't hold up.
As a result I designed my own bag and it came to be known as the Tactical Man Purse. We
also make a tactical messenger bag and various pouches and other bags. All the gear is made to
order right here in beautiful Colorado Springs, CO.
Rivendell Mountain Works have been in production for over a year now, with our vintage day
pack line, and have been super pleased with the great enthusiasm our customers have shown for
these remakes of the 1979 vintage designs. All of our packs are 100% USA made, at our micro-
cottage workshop in Washington State
Duluth Pack, we strive to set ourselves apart from the other outdoor gear makers. For 130
years we have been building quality products in Duluth, Minnesota, and for the last 100 of those
years at the same factory on West Superior Street. Many of our current manufacturing methods
are similar to those in the early 1900’s. Pride in craftsmanship is the reason we put signature
labels on all of our products. These labels read: “Handcrafted by”: with the sewer’s hand-signed
initials or name on it. Just lift up that little American flag, and there is the signature. (see photo
gallery) This touch of ownership was initiated at the sewers’ request to put their pride of
workmanship in writing.
Topo Designs of Colorado makes quality backpacks and shoulder bags all made in the USA. Our
bags feature natural leather lash tabs, all-metal military spec hardware, heavy duty straps
reinforced with seatbelt webbing, and inner organizer pockets.
Ultralight Adventure Equipment (ULA) was started by Pacific Crest Trail hiker Brian Frankle,
who saw a need for durable yet light weight backpacking equipment. Nine years later nearly half
the hikers completing this arduous 2650 mile trail are carrying a ULA pack. Our reputation for
quality,innovation and customer service have given us a worldwide reputation that is second to
none. ULA is one of the few remaining U.S. based backpack companies who manufacture in
house. Our factory in Logan Utah enables us to be extremely responsive to our customers ever
changing needs. It allows us to adapt new technologies and materials in weeks rather than
months, and also allows ULA to offer a level of customer service that is simply unmatched.
Because we donʼt rely on others to sew our packs, we always have all styles and sizes in stock
ready to ship. Our packs have won awards from Backpacker magazine, The Great Outdoors,
and Mens Journal. Our newly launched EPIC has received an award for innovation from
Geographical magazine and was carried on the National Geographic sponsored circumnavigation
of Alaska recently completed by Andrew Skurka. If you are hiking 2 miles or 2000 miles ULA
makes the packs that will make all your adventures more enjoyable.
