Q & A With High Sierra Sports Company
Rand Whitney, vice president, Sporting Goods Division for High Sierra Sports Company, discusses the Backpack & Sports Bag Market.
Q What are the current trends among backpacks and sports bags with regard to fabrics, styles, colors, etc.?
A There are a number of exciting new trends among backpack and sports bag designs that are incorporating a fashion forward style, by introducing various types of fabrics, edgy patterns, and a broad spectrum of color palettes. Now we are seeing a consumer need to offer more variety such as interesting patterns of polka dots, flowers, and more. Bags also used to have a limited color range, primarily consisting of basic primary colors. Now the color way includes chipotle orange, a broad range of blue and navy tones, and also the surf and spa color way which consists of aqua blues and turquoises, paired with browns, tans, and sand colors.
