LIFE IN MOTION

SINCE 1995

Driven by a DIY mindset and curious minds, Chrome Industries was founded on hands-on experimentation with a focus on function and play. From its garage beginnings, the brand has stayed true to its roots - building thoughtfully designed gear for people in constant motion.

AN ICON WAS BORN

CITIZEN

Faced with the need for faster bag access and no suitable hardware available, they built their own solution. A seatbelt buckle from an Oldsmobile, pulled from a junkyard and sewn onto a messenger bag, become the starting point of an icon for Chrome Industries.

PACK TO THE FUTURE

BARRAGE

Born from messenger DNA and rebuilt for the back, the Barrage features a floating liner, weatherproof shell, and an ergonomic strap system desgned for all-day movement. With a cargo net front and integrated storage for daily essentials like bottles and a U-lock, it's built to carry what matters - clean and efficient.

ON TO A GOOD SLING

KADET

Then came KADET. Built from messenger DNA, refined for everyday carry it, it delivers a lighter, tighter, ride-ready sling. A modern icon rooted in courier heritage, available in multiple sizes and a waterproof build from Chrome Industries.

URBAN EXPLORATION

WATERPROOF INNOVATION

Waterproof carry requires sealed seams, technical materials, and a watertight closure. With the Urban Explorer collection, it was drew from sailing gear and introduced knurled welded seams for added strength and durability. No stitching, no leaks. Just welded protection from Chrome Industries.

GOT YOUR BACK

CELEBRATING PRIDE

Since 2021, Chrome Industries have supported the LGBTQIA+ community through their Pride capsules, an ongoing commitment to purpose and the communities they move with from Chrome Industries.
