"...I finally wore out my first 'Big Stick Bag' after 10 years of use on the road! I would endorse your products anytime!" - Derek Brown, Portland, OR

 

"I just wanted to write a long overdue letter to express my sincere thanks for an amazing product. I bought my Big Stick Bag in 1990 and whether I was at home or on the road playing for 20 people or 20,000 my bag has been hanging right at my side. I recommend it to everyone I talk to and I am forever grateful to everyone at Tough Traveler."
Matthew Middleton, Akron, OH


 

 

"I saw your company name somewhere and it served to remind me that I still don’t need to worry about my DrumSlinger stick bag - the one I bought in San Diego the third week of May ‘90: I got married that Saturday! The good (but not surprising) news is the marriage is great and the stick bag is apparently indestructible! 25 years down line and I may need to shop for the next stick bag in about 10 years; thanks for service above and beyond!!
Sincerely,
Roger Hoinacki"

"For years I've went through tons of standard stick bags, most wore out within a year, or became unstitched quite quickly. It feels great to finally own a quality bag that won't wear out!
I can't wait to start gigging with it. I plan to add a cymbal bag very soon. Thanks for the great product and fast shipping!"

The Tough Traveler Story

In 1970, Mark Goldstein—an avid outdoorsman and military veteran—couldn't find a backpack that matched the durability of his military-issued gear or the comfort he needed for long treks. So he designed his own.

Working from his Schenectady apartment, Mark hand-sewed backpacks with tough materials and innovative designs. When fellow outdoorsmen saw his work, they wanted their own. Tough Traveler was born.

More than 50 years later, we're still family-operated and still manufacturing every bag in that same Schenectady community. In 2019, we represented New York at the White House Made in America Product Showcase—proof that Mark's commitment to uncompromising quality and American craftsmanship still defines everything we make.

Every bag we sew today carries that original mission: build it tough enough to last decades, comfortable enough to carry every day.
