Other functional details include 5-bar webbing u-lock holster, reflective rear tag, and double bartack reinforced belt loops. The Chrome Folsom Shorts are...

In stock now from Chrome is the latest in the ongoing Salvage Series, their Salvage Airbag Citizen. This messenger bag is made from material that has been reclaimed from pre-consumer obsolete airbags.

Every Salvage Airbag Citizen will be tagged with a special label defining airbag and lot numbers. Only...
