Elemental Horizons is a proud manufacturer of made in the USA lightweight and ultra-light backpacking and outdoor gear. Our products include backpacks, pack accessories such as hip belt pockets and pack covers, ultra-light fly fishing pouches, and water sports bags that are handmade with pride and care in North Carolina.

Our pack line is rapidly becoming one of the most popular in the lightweight market because of it’s excellent support system, comfort, and lightweight feature rich design. In addition to these great attributes, we have created a unique niche for our products through our custom build options which allow customers to easily and affordably spec and setup their pack so that it fits their particular style perfectly in every detail from the color and fabric type to the number and size of the hip belt pockets. If a custom build is not your cup of tea, we also offer standard pack options, which offer the same great function, feature rich design, and hand built craftsmanship as our custom packs at a more affordable price. Whether you are buying a custom pack or a simple accessory pocket, we scrutinize every detail of the design, development, and construction process to provide our customers with the very best possible products for whatever their adventure may be and wherever it takes them.

Matthew Lagas-Rivera – Founder/President I have been traveling in and enjoying back country areas for over 25 years. I have traveled and explored remote areas throughout the continental United States and Alaska, British Columbia Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Throughout my career I have worked in a wide variety of jobs in the outdoor industry including guide and trip leader, challenge course facilitator, National Outdoor Leadership School sea kayak instructor, bicycle mechanic, rock climbing competition planner, expedition leader, and retail store manager. I am an avid water sports enthusiast, backpacker, and bicyclist enjoying sea kayaking, surfing, canoeing on flat and white water rivers, snorkeling, road bicycle touring, and I use my bicycle as my sole means of transportation. I also enjoy fishing, mountain biking, rock climbing, and sharing my love of the outdoors with my wife and son.

Throughout my outdoor career I have been passionate about the equipment I use; some might even call me a “gear-head”. I designed my first piece of gear in 1998 and from that point on I have been in a constant state of spin cycle, coming up with new ideas, looking for ways to improve function, add features, shave weight, improve the over-all quality, and on and on. Gear is my passion, and designing and producing the best gear I can is my ultimate goal.
