HPA, waterproof gear and fishing tools
HPA is a French brand based in Boulogne-Billancourt. Since 2004, it has designed dry bags and technical luggage. Its products are built for places where water is always close. Fishing, boating, camping, cycling and hiking are its main fields of use.
The range covers several formats. It includes backpacks, hip packs, tote bags and pouches. The Orgadryzer pouches are flat, light and flexible. HPA also makes stainless steel fishing pliers for lure fishing, at sea and in fresh water.
The Infladry 25 backpack shows this range of uses. HPA builds it for sea fishing, kayaking and boating. It also works for jungle trekking, cycling and city trips.
A craft built around waterproofing
HPA works mainly with TPU, a thermoplastic polyurethane. The panels of its bags are joined by welding. This material stays flexible, even in very cold weather. The brand has also developed its own waterproof zip, protected by a patent.
- Bags in TPU 420D, with a reinforced 840D base.
- A patented zip that reaches the IP68 waterproof rating.
- A pressure valve on the Infladry 25 backpack.
- MOLLE loops and removable straps on the mk2 version.
- Pliers in marine-grade stainless steel, with a built-in line cutter.
The pliers follow the same idea of toughness. The Seabassplier opens the small split rings of lures. Its handles keep a good grip, even when wet. The Gameplier is stronger and suits jigging and large rings.
This demand also comes from professional users. HPA equips firefighters, sea rescue crews and military units. These uses have taken the brand well beyond leisure gear.
