The story of the brand

A tetrapod as its emblem, since 2004

HPA was founded in 2004 in Boulogne-Billancourt. The starting idea was simple: design dry bags and technical luggage for places exposed to water. The brand chose a tetrapod as its logo. This concrete block, set at the foot of sea walls, takes the force of ocean swell.

In spring 2009, the Dry Duffle 90 went into service with the SNSM, the French sea rescue society. This 90 litre bag was developed with the technical teams of the rescuers. It then equipped all of their crews. Other professionals followed: firefighters, French special forces, then bike couriers.

Today, HPA builds its bags in welded TPU around a patented waterproof zip. The Infladry 25 backpack is its best known example. The brand also designs marine-grade stainless steel pliers for lure fishing, such as the Seabassplier and the Gameplier. Rodhouse carries its bags, pouches and pliers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything about the brand

Who is HPA and where does the brand come from?

HPA is a French brand founded in 2004. Its head office is in Boulogne-Billancourt. It designs and makes dry bags and technical luggage for activities around water: fishing, boating, camping, cycling and hiking. Its logo shows a tetrapod, the concrete block that protects coastlines from ocean swell.

What materials does HPA use for its dry bags?

HPA makes its dry bags in TPU 420D, a thermoplastic polyurethane joined by welding. On the Infladry 25 backpack, the base is reinforced with TPU 840D. This material stays flexible even in very cold weather.

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.

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.
