Spire www.spireusa.com
We're a small group of mobile computing fanatics who design and manufacture the finest laptop backpacks and bags on the planet.
There is no company in the world quite like ours. There are a lot of companies that make computer bags, but they have no experience in building real high-quality gear. Conversely, many big name mountaineering companies make computer bags, but they aren't computer geeks like us. They don't even know what a G4 or Inspiron is, so how will they know if it fits in their packs?
We do only one thing, and we do it well - make laptop bags that are durable, comfortable and functional. And they're all designed, tested, and manufactured in Boulder, Colorado.
