Over twenty years of handy haulage

The Rope Bag is quintessential KAVU

A true KAVU classic

The Rope Bag has been a mainstay of our range for well over 20 years, becoming one of the most popular outdoor bags in the US in the process.

So, what’s so good about it?

Well, the success is probably down to that unique functional design, with that trademark adjustable rope strap holding everything in place, along with those two big vertical zip compartments and those nifty phone pockets.

Just the right size for a day out and about, it’s no wonder the Rope Bag is so well loved. 

 

Why?

The Rope Bag was designed to answer a question—the question of how to carry your stuff comfortably, and keep it close to hand. Hip-packs were handy, but lacked the space for a full day out in the hills, whilst backpacks were too cumbersome and unwieldy for those times you need to be reaching for your keys, cash or phone.

The Rope Bag sat somewhere in the middle. Expanding up to 10 litres, it was big enough for a long day out the house, whilst that clever over-the-shoulder design meant it could be worn on your front when you needed stuff close to hand.

What's your Rope Bag?

These days the Rope Bag is also available in a few new versions, keeping that classic Rope Bag DNA, with a few subtle twists.

The Mini Rope Bag is pretty self explanatory. Whilst the regular Rope Bag sits more in the ‘day pack’ category, its Mini sibling is perfect for those outings that don’t require quite as much space—just the right size to use as an easy-to-reach purse, or as a reliable pack to hold your point-and-shoot camera ready to snap.

The Rope Sling Bag has all the classic Rope Bag details, but is made from tightly woven polyester instead of that 12oz canvas—making it a bit more water resistant when the clouds open.
