Hello! I’m Ruslan, aka Brainstorm, and I’ve hiked 10,000 miles in the last ten years. An advocate of lightweight backpacking, I learned what features I wanted in a pack, but no pack delivered them all: so I began sewing my own! When not in the wilderness I live in the City, and I needed a pack for everyday use; starting with the simple, lightweight, long-distance backpacking design, I developed the FUNCTION pack. Compact yet voluminous, it includes a zippered exterior pocket, two exterior stretch pockets, shoulder strap pockets, and finally, an interior laptop sleeve. Carefully designed and handmade by me with high-quality materials, the FUNCTION Pack performs beautifully in both the metropolitan and wilderness landscapes. Since opening my shop, I've developed the LITE Pouch and TECH Tote, made with the same attention to design, craft and functionality, to assist with your everyday organizational needs. Thanks for stopping by!

Fantastic bag

Expertly crafted and locally made with high quality materials. It's already become my spouse's daily driver.

Beautiful and Beautifully Made!

I have been a fan of Brainstorm Equipment for many years, and have a gorgeous BE backpack. So when I needed a new tote and pouch, I knew where to go, but I was still not prepared for how fantastic my new tote would be. It's absolutely perfect. It's chic enough to take to work in NYC, and durable enough to load up with supplies and take my puppy on a country hike. It's perfect, and I get so many compliments about the color scheme. I could not love it more. 1000% recommend!

The Lite too little.

Just a little too small. Otherwise happy with it.

Sweet backpack

Love this backpack. Can use it as a daily backpack when rolled tightly for fewer items and it works great as a travel backpack stuffed to the top. It’s cute, my water bottles never fall out, and the front compartment is handy. The GRiD backpack was just what I needed.

This is a great little backpack, useful around the city and carrying stuff for work, or out on a trail. Well made with a considered design and quality materials.
