Rove Goods — Local services in Santa Cruz

Phenomenal collection and an even more awesome store owner/operator!!! Ted meticulously curates only the best from boutique EDC makers and enables an up front and personal shopping touch for his customers, complete with tablet and laptop (Mac, XPS, etc,) wooden printouts.

Bag makers should thank Ted for the cordial advice and knowledgeable experience he provides end-users, as I would otherwise never buy online from these manufacturers that make you pay shipping for absence of fit. Listen up, Alpaka, Evergoods and all of you guys missing out.

Rove Goods will be a regular stop for me and my family while frequenting Santa Cruz. I strongly recommend it for everyone else in serious consideration of an EDC or Travel pack. What you do not see in store, Ted is gracious enough to acquire for you.

To me, this is the only option for a 100%...

Backpack heaven. His online store reflects his in store inventory.

Ted the owner is amazing and has amassed a collection of the best backpacks you would never be able to find in store anywhere. I thought I knew backpacks but he had so many more brands and models I didn't know of and it was an absolute treat to try all the bags.

If you need a new backpack or love backpacks this is the store you need to go to.

He carries peak design, bellroy, Aer, black ember, and so much more. Please stop by this store...

Excellent selection of beautifully designed every-day-carry backpacks, totes, slings and accessories. It's so awesome to have all of these in one place where you can really find the bag you're looking for. The owner is super knowledgable and passionate and fun to talk to. There's a nice work surface where you can open up the bags and really check them out. They also have some mock laptops and tablets in various sizes so you can experiment with packing the bags too. Highly...
