A nice video executed by our friends at Outer Shell on their brand story and inspiration behind their adventure cycling bags. “From the naturally immersive flow state of cycling to our desire to care for that which takes care of us, Outer Shell stands for connection with the environment and the people that enrich our lives.”

Founded in 2015, Outer Shell focuses on developing high quality gear with functional and minimal design. I’ve now owned two of their industry-leading saddle bags, a saddle bag, and a half-frame bag, and have been very pleased with all 3 products. After 3 years of hard use, one of the zippers failed on a saddle bag and I was thrilled when the company was able to repair and send it back to me at no cost. I love supporting companies like Outer Shell, and it’s easy when they make some of the best products available in their class.

All Outer Shell products are designed, tested, and handmade in San Francisco. Check them out at OuterShell.com.
