INSIDIOUSLY ADDICTIVE

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. 

YOUR BEST DEFENSE

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.

Yes, you are worth it!

THE ULTIMATE STRAP

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! 

MASHUP

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!

MENACE YOUR BOREDOM

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 YOUR COUCH

VerBockel For Life

CHAOS HORWEEN LEATHER DESK PAD

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.

SIMPLICITY PERSONIFIED

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.

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

Don't come in from the storm...get out into it!

TRUCK TARPAULIN X STORMTROOPER XPAC™

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!
