Outventure is a fairly well-known brand that produces high-quality backpacks, mainly of a sports orientation.
general description
The brand was launched in 2003 by the owners of the Sportmaster sporting goods chain for sale in their stores. On the Internet you can find a beautiful "legend" about the Swedish-Canadian roots of the brand, but it does not correspond to reality. Outventure is a Russian brand made at factories in China and taking into account the climatic characteristics of our territory. Today it has expanded its sales sites, and part of the catalog is presented not only in Sportmaster, but also in several partner online stores.
The merger of the concepts Outdoor (outdoor) and Adventure (adventure) has become the basis of the name of the brand, which produces products for active urban and tourist recreation.
The assortment is presented in the following categories:
- clothing (men, women, children);
- footwear for the whole family;
- accessories (city backpacks, hats, gloves, scarves);
- travel gear - backpacks occupy a large niche in this category, offering many other items (from tents and camping furniture to binoculars and compasses).
Outventure's slogan: “Life is a journey and it starts right now” perfectly characterizes the target audience of the brand's consumers. These are active, athletic people, ready for change and opening new boundaries, people who are not chasing a fashion label, but focused on comfort and versatility.
The cost of backpacks is designed for buyers of the middle price segment, and given the frequent updating of collections and regular sales, it is available even for wallets below average.

There are practical black, gray, blue, bright red and other colors. They are made from strong, durable, hardwearing polyester fabrics. Modern technology makes the lightweight synthetic material waterproof and quick-drying.
Air Mesh with three-dimensional fiber arrangement, used in the construction of the shoulder straps, waist and back, ensures breathability. High-quality accessories - zippers, carabiners, loops, tool holders, key holders and more - work reliably, decorating the backpack and making it multifunctional.

Care Tips
The operation of the backpack will be long if you follow the rules:
- keep away from sources of fire (fabric ignites easily);
- cover all sharp objects when carrying;
- monitor the tightness of containers (bottles, vials, tubes) placed in a backpack;
- dry and ventilate the product as needed (use silica gel bags).
Most backpacks cannot be machine washed, only soft, frameless nylon models will do. Before machine washing, carefully inspect the backpack: empty all compartments and pockets. Separate all removable metal parts.
For other models - only hand wash with a soft sponge and soapy water (the powder is difficult to rinse out) or modern stain removers. You need to dry the backpack in a straightened form in the air, and not on heating devices.
