RVCA Trooper II Bag

THE ASKMEN TAKE

We're fans of RVCA not just because it makes cool clothing that outlives trends and looks correct both in the office and on the street, but also because the company has a lifestyle vision that incorporates art and subcultures. RVCA’s Artist Network Program supports creativity and even publishes a quarterly magazine about art and community. It's this vision that gives rise to products like the Trooper II Bag. Perfect for a day hike, the bag also has a padded laptop compartment so you can stay connected on the move. This type of versatile bag at such a reasonable price is a smart purchase during uncertain economic times.

UNIQUENESS

While RVCA has a unique mission ("...redefining the way the market views art and fashion as represented through the balance of opposites and how they coexist: water, oil; air, land; destruction, industrialization; art, science; foreign, domestic; order, anarchy; past, present"), you won't likely attract a crowd by sporting the Trooper II Bag. As we know, however, the days of flaunting luxury and brand names are behind us, at least temporarily, and playing it cool is the name of the game. The RVCA Trooper II Bag will keep your belongings safe and let your personality shine.

DURABILITY

If the name "Trooper" is any indication, the RVCA Trooper II Bag is built to last. It's constructed of durable cotton canvas and closes with a no-nonsense combination of draw strings and buckles, which means no stuck zippers and easy access to the goods at a moment's notice. There's also plenty of padding on the back and a faux-suede bottom, so you won't have to worry about rips and tears in the important spots. Since RVCA makes apparel for skaters -- guys who are as hard on their gear as they are on their bodies -- the Trooper II Bag should hold up for the long haul.
