How to Choose the Right Hardware for Your Backpack

Hardware is where the commercial, technical, and brand briefs intersect. Let us help you make the right hardware decisions for your design.

“Hardware is the unsung hero of every great backpack. A bag can be sewn from the finest fabrics in the world, but if the zipper fails on a mountain trail or a buckle snaps under load, the entire product fails. At Kowide Outdoors, hardware specification is one of the most consequential decisions we make with our OEM customers.” – Kowide Outdoors
