Maine brands Sambob and Flowfold unite to launch limited-edition Sambob x Flowfold Explorer Fanny Pack

February 5, 2026

Hike all day, sleep all night with this cozy fanny pack pillow

Portland, Maine (February 5, 2026) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ — Today, Sambob, the outdoor apparel brand known for its functional, sustainable designs, and Flowfold, the Maine-based maker of minimalist, rugged everyday gear handcrafted from recycled materials, proudly announce their collaboration on the new Sambob x Flowfold Explorer Fanny Pack.

Blending Sambob’s signature use of recycled Polartec microgrid fleece with Flowfold’s performance-driven construction, this Explorer Fanny Pack has a unique double purpose: Fill it full of snacks and hike all day, then stuff it with your Sambob fleece top and use it as a pillow. Made from high-quality, repurposed materials, each pack features a soft yet resilient exterior and thoughtful organization for essentials like phones, keys, wallets and snacks, whether worn around the waist or as a crossbody bag.

“Our goal with this collaboration was to merge two distinct design philosophies — Sambob’s cozy, performance-minded approach and Flowfold’s heritage of minimalist, durable craftsmanship — into something that feels both functional and fun for all walks of life,” said Ponch Membreño, commercial director for Flowfold.

Founded with a commitment to sustainability and quality, Flowfold has been crafting minimalist bags, wallets, and packable accessories in Maine since 2010, using recycled and repurposed materials to create rugged gear meant to last a lifetime.

This collaboration reflects both brands’ dedication to thoughtful material use and responsible production and is backed by Flowfold’s lifetime warranty.
