If it lacks functionality, it has no place in the anti-nonsense world that Chrome has created. As the producer of bags, clothes, and shoes, Chrome designs each product around utility and purpose. Their gear is constructed of industrious, rugged materials that enable them to guarantee Chrome hardware for life.

During the mid ‘90s, a couple of guys from Boulder, Colorado became frustrated when they were unable to find bags with good enough quality to meet their standards. So, they took matter and materials into their own hands, locked themselves in the garage, and refused to reappear until they had messenger bags that refused to quit. By using seatbelts salvaged from used car lots to fashion bag straps, and durable vinyl re-purposed from old furniture as bag liners, the guys had begun creating the best bags around. Word was quick to spread and soon Chrome relocated to San Francisco to immerse themselves in the massive cycling scene. It was here that they began expanding product lines and blowing up across the globe. What began based on necessity transformed into a business built on dedication to making functional products that people can rely on.

Epitomizing quality is the iconic Metropolis Messenger Bag. With a construction that is tough and boasts durability, this bag has room to stash everything you could possibly need for you day. The signature quick release buckle and EVA foam padded strap provide a fit that disperses the load for maximum comfort and longevity. The Citizen Messenger Bag also brings waterproofing, perfect balance and the comfortable utility you crave as Chrome takes the "ug" out of lugging your goods around.

What good is reaching your destination with all your stuff intact if you are a sopping mess after your commute? Chrome has you covered, literally. Windbreakers like the Anza for guys and the Marysia for the ladies keep you prepared for anything the weather can throw at you. Not only are these jackets lightweight, waterproof, and slightly oversized for maximum coverage while riding, but they can also packed into the pocket that moonlights as a stuff sack.

The men’s Loop Pro Knicker and women’s Vanya Knickers are a dual threat in the sense that each is super functional and perfect for powering you to and from your business, plus they look great for just hanging out during after hour activities. Made from 4-way stretch water resistant fabric and featuring deep pockets and a reflective logo, these pants take no prisoners in the daily war waged in the urban jungle.

The Chrome Industries Midway Shoes will have you believing in the stork as these kicks will become your babies. The 100% vulcanized construction, polyurethane contoured insole, and lace garage will keep your feet purring from the first few pedals to the last uphill push.

Building a superior product is the sole goal at Chrome. If it’s not tough, functional, and ready to unleash an urban assault, you won’t find Chrome’s name on it. So strap in, suit up, and forget about it.
