Testimonial

“The Higher Ground Vert 3.0 has become the bag of choice for our Nampa Personalized Learning Device. It provides a great carrying experience with lots of device protection. We first tried a Dell branded device sleeve for our device deployment. We found it wasn’t holding up to the demands put on it by the students. We need a better solution and we found that Higher Ground gear bags provided a much better experience and protection for nearly the same cost. The student feedback is positive and the students still using the first round sleeve want to move to the Higher Ground Vert 3.0 bag.”
