American born Mark Epperson was an outdoor adventure kind with a burning issue. He couldn’t find a backpack which could keep up with him. Way back in 1973 Mark Epperson made it his mission to create a backpack which was as functional and strong as he desired. Over 40 years later, the Epperson Mountaineering brand continues to make extremely durable backpacks and have now expanded into other ranges of Epperson bags including totes which are stylish and ideal for travel.
