Sustainability and Product Care
Kuoka is a dual-ended handlebar bag for carrying sleeping bags and jackets on multi-day adventures. Openings at both ends give easy access to your kit and allow you to balance the load across your handlebars. Webbing ladders provide adjustable strap locations for a secure fit, a stiffened rear panel adds stability and a hypalon patch on the front gives a light attachment point. Kuoka uses hard-wearing waterproof fabrics to protect your kit from all but the heaviest rain. It's also compatible with our Kanga and Joey harnesses. Built to last by hand in our UK Factory with a 25 year Alpine Bond.

How It Is Made
Organic cotton
X-Pac® X11 fabric uses a hard-wearing 100% organic cotton face fabric. Organic cotton farming produces significantly less CO₂, uses less water and eliminates the use of harmful pesticides.
Climate neutral fabric
X-Pac® X11 fabric is certified by cleenTEC® as being 100% climate neutral. X11 is made from a mixture of plant-based and recycled materials and manufactured in factories using only green energy.

This includes the Ethical Trading Initiative base code, fair pay, safe working environments, no child labour, no modern slavery, no bribery or corruption, no materials from conflict zones and humane farming methods.

Reducing our carbon footprint
We are carbon neutral under PAS2060 and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 operations and transport emissions. We recognise that offsetting is not part of the solution but a point to pass through on a journey to Net Zero. Carbon Neutral is just a step in that journey.
We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
End of life
When your partnership with this product is over send it back to us and we will pass it on to someone that needs it through our Continuum Project.
