Who We Are

Built To Last a Lifetime

We make field repair solutions and upgrades designed for longevity — keeping your favorite pack out of the trash and on your back.

We understand gear becomes more than just sporting equipment, more than just a bag. Your gear holds memories and becomes a part of your journey. Our goal is to provide field repair solutions and upgrades that have longevity in mind — gear you can trust, time and time again.

Most packs are made of durable fabrics designed to withstand the elements. But what about the clips and buckles that secure your straps? Typically made of cheap plastics, advertising lightweight construction but falling short in durability.

Does that plastic compare to the expensive construction of the bag? Are these plastic clips and buckles safe? Will they hold under high stress or in an accident? Reality is, plastic breaks easily.

PacMate offers lightweight, metal solutions designed to outlive fabric with a secure hold for everyday wear and tear — gear designed to carry with you from one pack or strap to another, so you get the full life out of everything you buy.
