Unlike many carry bags currently on the market, Outlier's Nexhigh offers consumers a robust and rugged option that doubles down on function while maintaining a clean and simple form. The new bag is made from [heavy-duty composite fabric](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durable-versatile-bags) and features a [simple compartmentalization scheme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matrix-backpack). The Nexhigh has one large main compartment that is split by an internal divider and a slip pocket on the backside. Aside from these two pockets, the bag features a 550 paracord shoulder strap, which is adjustable via a 3bar system. For those interested, the Nexhigh Carry Bag will be available to purchase on Outlier's website starting today.
