Brand Introduction [OUTDOOR PRODUCTS] Outdoor Products is a brand founded in 1973 by the Altschul brothers in Los Angeles, USA. The brothers' shop was originally the first department store on the West Coast to sell military surplus and camping gear, and even had the facilities to remake military tarps into camping tents and backpacks. One day, they had a sudden realization. While they stocked a wide range of equipment useful for practical activities like skiing, canoeing, and mountain climbing, they realized they had absolutely no products for everyday use by people involved in those activities.

At the time, there were no products on the market that they could confidently recommend for everyday use to people who knew real gear.

So, using equipment that had been used to remaking military tarps, they began making "Outdoor Products" bags.

Because of this background, the initial shop's selection was strange, with backpacks, sleeping bags, gaiters, rain ponchos, and other items lined up in a seemingly random fashion.

Because they had long respected and dealt in the finest gear, they didn't try to develop products that would compete with those brands, but instead focused on "everyday" products that those brands hadn't made.

Eventually, Outdoor Products' production volume increased, and the number of employees also grew, but with the rise of the labor union movement in the mid-1970s, labor costs per person continued to rise. The only solution was to simplify the manufacturing process for each product, and the resulting design became the foundation of Outdoor Products' simple daypacks, which continue to this day. Simply constructed with two pieces and minimal sewing, yet made with durable Cordura fabric and YKK zippers, these daypacks, along with similarly simple Boston bags, were sold in university co-ops across the United States by the mid-1980s.

The stripped-back design easily complemented any fashion and age group, and soon became a favorite among many Americans. Today, Outdoor Products bags are popular and used in over 60 countries around the world. The birth of Outdoor Products daypacks was heavily influenced by the circumstances of America's period of rapid economic growth.
