Let's face it, there are just certain places we all find ourselves in where we wish we had a few extra things in tow, but not so much we'd need to lug a full bag or backpack around. Places like: Hiking, concerts, festivals and traveling to name a few. It would be safe to say we've received well over a hundred emails over the years requesting that DEFY come out with such a bag. Not a messenger. Not a backpack. But a unique pack you can take anywhere. A bag that's small. Nimble. Zippered. One where you could simply fasten it around your waste and go. People said they wanted the bag to be tough and rugged...not your average 'Fanny Pack'. Well, thanks to our School of the Art Institute Chicago intern Xinda 'Parker' Wang bringing this rad design to our design team, we're full up in production on The Parker Hip Pack.
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! Please don't think this material won't wear on the edges and corners as with use it will! It's not made of diamonds ;) The interior white 'Stormtrooper' X-Pac™ material is super easy to see inside and is water and scratch resistant to boot.
The Parker has adjustable MIL-SPEC webbing and an imported $30, 2" AustriAlpin™ COBRA® Quick-Release Buckle that holds over a thousand pounds for good measure. Simply pull on the oversized matte black steel D ring, adjust, and one size fits all. This pack is extremely versatile as you can wear it around your waist, over your shoulder or cross body style in front or back. Its 2 easy to access YKK Vislon Zippered compartments give you enough carrying space to make you feel like you're carrying a bag that's larger, without all the bulk and effort. And don't even get us started on just how water-resistant this bad boy is.
