High Above: Bags made in Seattle

We have a bit of an obsession with well-made bags and packs, particularly those manufactured in the USA, UK or Japan. We came across High Above via Rivendell Mountain Works (who we featured in our AW15 Magazine) and aren't we glad? High Above have been creating bags and wallets since 2011 in Seattle and their amazing range of products hasn't gone unnoticed, they already have a Japanese store and customer base and are now targeting the USA - and soon the UK.

Their Ultralight Cuben Wallets are futuristic, functional and just really cool - and they're made using Cuben fibre which was originally designed for America's cup racing sails, like we said cool. This means that they are robust, hard wearing and it makes the wallets incredibly light - less than the weight of two US nickels.

They also have an incredible bag in their inventory called the Das Radpack. A really good size, perfect for everyday use and short rambles, not to mention the fact that its made using Waterproof X-Pac fabric.
