All AustriAlpin™ Carabiners are milled to achieve the highest degree of precision, strength and consistent quality. Casting (as used by many low cost brands) is a grossly inferior production technique resulting in poor wear, inconsistent strength, and potential fracturing. It's a bold statement about AustriAlpin™ carabiners but there are simply no safer PPE products on the market.

Hey, it’s me. I’m that nagging song infesting your idle mind. First, causing you to start humming. Then tapping along. Before you know it you’re singing at the top of your lungs til your neighbors pound the walls. I burrow inside you, invade your consciousness and, before long, become a part of you. I’m caffeine coursing through your system early in the morning, at noon, and after dinner. I’m that feeling you feel on vacation, never wanting it to end. Allow me to introduce myself...I’m Insidious. 

VerBockel For Life

You can’t always bring order to the chaos of the world, but you can bring it to your workspace. Embrace the chaos, calm it, organize it and make it your own. Life is nothing without a little chaos.

You’re looking at a strap that’s been battle tested over the years on multiple DEFY BAGS: The Insidious, Insidious Jr and Recon Mashup to name a few. Many people have said this is their favorite strap ever from DEFY, and even more asked if we’d ever sell it as a stand alone strap for people who want to pair it with other bags they already own.The wait is over! 

The Ultimate Overnighter is the ultimate in simplicity. It may not boast the surround sound equivalent of pockets and storage like its larger brother the Rover, but it is the ultimate in everyday utility. This bag serves as a durable all-weather duffel bag built with water resistant material to battle the elements on any trip. The 36L duffel is just the right capacity for a single day or couple night trip to carry and protect your essentials.

Catch em off guard. Repel the attack. You know it, the boardroom needs someone with some stones. That’s where the Defender comes in. The Defender is equal parts Seal Team 6 and preppy look. Bad ass meets ‘Pardon me sir’. Uber strong Water-Resistant Rogue Camo MultiCam Black™ CORDURA® collides with Coyote X-Pac™ and Chicago’s century old iconic Austin Calf Horween Leather.

We couldn't leave well enough alone! After throwing nearly everything but the kitchen sink at the original Recon Mashup like $90 in imported Special Forces MIL-SPEC AustriAlpin Cobra Quick-Release Buckles, to Water-Resistant YKK AquaGuard Zippers to Water-Resistant MIL-SPEC Ballistic Materials, we decided to go further. DEFY STANDING STILL!

No more emptiness. No more looking for things you can't find. Finally, a Void you can fill.

I need to go home now. I’ve been outside wandering too long. What day is it anyway? People might start to shutter their windows wondering who this wandering person is endlessly walking around with his backpack. I don’t want to become a menace to society. Ever since designing this new backpack I’ve just been finding myself looking for an excuse, any excuse to wear it outside.

DEFY has proudly worked exclusively with Chicago's iconic Horween Leather Tannery Since 2008 to make our Made in USA leather goods.

Designed to be the ultimate daily commuter/carry pack, the Bucktown boasts two large, mega easy to access YKK Water-Repellent VISLON® AquaGuard® Zipper compartments. The outer compartment is perfect for small and large storage alike, with double pockets and pen organization that are all handcrafted using military grade thread and triple stitched at the joints for added durability. We added an external easy to access YKK Water-Repellent VISLON® AquaGuard® Zipper pocket for quick access into the front of the bag.

Burly recycled bags, compact EDC pens, and trek-friendly travel packs are just a few of the great new releases cropping up in August. Discover the month’s best new gear…

Takes 3 hours to make just 1. You'll have a lifetime to enjoy it.

The Parker Pack utilizes 18 oz. Truck Tarpaulin material. It's thick, matte, rubbery feel makes for an incredible, water-resistant bag material which with use over time, starts to soften and wear nicely, taking on a different patina and character. While it's tougher than the vast majority of tarp material used by other bag companies with enough beating, use and life it will show signs of wear. Those wear marks are a badge of honor!
