Backpacks, Sleeves & Bags

Providing Ultimate Safety & Padded Protection

Concerned with protecting your devices and the safety of your students, Higher Ground offers the only clear backpack on the market with patent-pending, see-through padded protection for your devices and gear.   50% thicker PVC than other "heavy-duty" cases along with triple-layer air-pocket construction along the bottom and sides protects your gear from accidental drops.

All stress points are reinforced with a double-wrap, stitching detail which helps to increase durability and prevent accidental tearing or pull-out. In fact, our straps are so strong they can resist over 80kg of pulling force before failing.

Higher Ground offers the CLEAR difference for device and student safety and protection.
