From High-Performance Sails to Iconic Bags
At the heart of Elvstrøm Sails’ cutting-edge sailmaking lies EPEX – a patented membrane technology and the flagship of our product portfolio. EPEX sails are designed for ultimate performance, delivering unmatched strength, shape stability, and durability – even under the most demanding sailing conditions. This is why EPEX is the preferred choice for discerning sailors and high-end boatbuilders who demand the very best.
Every time a sail is cut and made, there will - no matter how much the process is optimized - be leftover materials.
But - we've made an effort for it not to go to waste, and this was the inspiration for the very popular sail-based and inspired bags from Elvstrøm Sails.
Each and every bag in the collection is crafted from surplus sail materials, and the lineup features everything from weekend bags - as the one pictured here - to shopping/tote bags and much more.
Many materials in use
Another essential part of modern sail production is the use of varied materials. A sail from Elvstrøm Sails is not just a sail. It's tailored to suit the boat and the sailing needs the customer has.
Thus, it also means that there's much more to sails than the regular, white Dacron that has been an essential part of sailmaking for decades. Newer, stronger and better shape-holding materials and concepts such as laminate sails and membrane sails have come into play - and all of these materials are also used to give our charactaristic sail bags a unique design.
The lineup also features a wide selection of materials as the SailWear bags are made from just about every material our lineup of sails offer. From Dacron and Hydranet to EPEX.
