Traveler wearing a VRSA backpack

why we exist

So you can fully enjoy the trip you planned without all the shoulder and back pain from a heavy bag.

Hi, I’m Pat, the founder of VRSA.

I’ve reviewed over 100 backpacks to help people find their perfect one. But travelers still told me they couldn’t find one that didn’t leave their shoulders aching after a long travel day.

The bag was ruining my ability to enjoy the trip."

"I will take off the backpack to give my shoulders a break."

I spent the next 18 months building VRSA with comfort at its core.
