Homegrown company finds success in bags for the outdoors

Jack points out aside from outdoor enthusiasts, Hypergear bags, which are durable, are being used by military personnel overseas.

FOR Jack Lee and his business partner, Simon Lee, the decision to go into manufacturing bags, specifically waterproof bags often called “dry bags”, came about due to their love for outdoor activities like hiking, marathons and snorkelling.

“Part of the inspiration came from the fact there are a lot of outdoor enthusiasts in Malaysia,” said Simon, who along with Jack, were previously IT professionals.
