Oveja Negra

Oveja Negra designs, manufactures, and sells top-shelf bikepacking bags out of our fun and bustling factory in Salida, CO. We are 16 people and 20 machines working our tails off to provide the best bags and customer service to our riders worldwide.
Since our start in 2012 we've been manufacturing bikepacking gear in the Upper Arkansas Valley of Colorado. Born in a 300 square foot hole in the wall shop in the old mining town of Leadville, we've since moved our operation down valley to the river town of Salida. Every bag that bears our name is manufactured by a small team of dedicated and talented sewers right here in our factory.
When you decide to purchase an Oveja Negra product you are supporting our community. Thanks to you we are able to provide thrive-able careers to people who live and play in our funky little mountain town. We're also committed to supporting other US manufacturers; this helps us limit the environmental impact of the transportation of our raw goods as well as giving us and you the peace of mind that our materials are produced ethically by companies who invest in their communities. Over 90% of our raw materials come from other domestic factories.
Beyond our ethos of domestic manufacturing, quality is king at Oveja Negra. We are obsessive about the details and keep a close eye on every product. Our gear is designed, tested, and sewn by cyclists that work hard to insure your adventures go off without a hitch.
