Strong seams & zippers
We at Black Hill thinks that it is important with strong seams and zippers on our bags - so we are making sure that the it's well done and that we are using extra-strong stitching on the handles, rails, straps and so on to endure usage for a long time. We are careful to check the quality and run tests on both the factory and in the warehouse. Black Hill is also working always with heavy zippers of high quality, because we know how annoying wrenches loosening and zippers breaking can be. Black Hill bags usually have two-way zipper.
Inner walls
In almost all cases Black Hill uses strong inner walls of the same material as the rest of the bag. This is to ensure stability and quality throughout the bag. We're not using cheap and thin materials hidden inside the bags, we're only using materials with good quality in the whole bag! This results in long durability and stability of the products.
