Atlas 46 – Yorktown Tool Roll

July 25th, 2017

Founded by John Carver, Atlas 46 produces specialized load carriage which is an amalgam of tactical and construction.

Their Yorktown Tool Roll has an interesting inspiration:

The Siege of Yorktown was a combination of American and French forces, resulting in a victory that began peace negotiations; eventually leading to the independence of America. The culmination of two great forces into a final amazing product. This was our inspiration in creating the Yorktown; taking two of our loved products and championing them into the ultimate tool roll pouch.
