Outer Shell

Outer Shell 🚲 🏕 - Bike bags & accessories | Made in SF, CA
📐 ✂️ - Thoughtfully designed & built to last We are inspired by cycling and make bags for traveling.

Whether it’s for one hour or one year, the spontaneity of a plan can be necessary and/or rewarding. That's why most of the bags can expand to higher volumes and adapt to different situations. Founded in 2015, Outer Shell focuses on the highest quality gear with function forward design, backcountry security and minimalist style. We design for versatility, durability and repairability, using fewer s

eams, replaceable parts, and weatherproof construction. When you only have the few things you can bring on a trip, they should be simple and reliable companions. Each product is handcrafted in our San Francisco shop by people who care. We design it here, we ride it here, and we make it here. It’s the secret behind functional bags that last the test of time, guaranteed with a lifetime warranty.

Tomorrow! We are opening our doors to the public to share this little stronghold of San Francisco known as The Farm. If you didn’t know, we work in a space that’s had half a century of creative community. Our current unit was once Subterranean Records, an independent label that released bands like the Dead Kennedys and Flipper. MDC, Black Flag, the Descendents, Discharge, and Bad Brains have played here, to name a few. Sadly, Steve of Subterranean was forced to retire, but we hope to continue the legacy of DIY ethic and we thank all the artists that have paved the way for this space to exist.

Currently, the Farm houses .scorps .creative and many other artists. Come see our space and be a part of it. I hooked up some speakers and a tape deck recently. If you have cassette tapes, it would be fun to bring them.

We’re also having a sale online and in person so you can come shop as well.
15% off $150
20% off $250

Is it so bad to be vain? We hope everyone got to ride their bike today and feel good about themselves. Sometimes you gotta look good on the outside to help your insides be good too. Bikes are cool and so are you for riding them. 😎

Our friend Lauren just got this super stylin’ AND practical Serotta built up. Fully accessorized, serving up all the vibes.

Down to our last roll of Autumn Duck Camo 😭

Although we have every product in stock now, I’m not sure it’ll last through summer. This fabric is extremely hard to find so after we use it all up we won’t be able to get any more.

We hoped it would last till fall so it can be ‘in season’ again but unfortunately UPS lost an entire 50 yd roll of this stuff a few months ago. Pics are from our Japanese friends and as they say over there - shouganai

The colors on this Wilde look sooo good together! Matching saddle and bag too 💅🏻

If you’re gearing up for bike camping this year, we got lots of Mega Bar Bags in stock. Packing into one big compartment is so much easier than a bunch of tiny bags! P.S. it also works on your saddle 😉

Do we have any scooter riders out there? I’ve been using the everyday tote on my Vespa GTS for the past few years. It’s the perfect height from the bag hook to the floorboard so I just had to share! Let’s go scooter fam!! 🛵💨

Back at work and there’s so much to do! Here’s some scenes from around the shop. Keeping track of fabrics and buckles is a real doozy! Patterns, cutting machines, and sewing. All the steps to get you those premium bags, fresh out the factory. Behind the scenes is Jim, the man who puts all the lines together - one spreadsheet at a time.

Kyle here - took some time off this week to visit the Athabaskan land of ice and snow. In such a harsh environment, life stands out so warm and vibrant. Respect to all the people and animals that live in these types of landscapes. I am grateful to learn and connect.

Trip highlights include northern lights, moose, fat biking, ice skating on a lake, the world ice art championships, snowy hot springs, and the Alaskan railway.
