We make bags for the journeys that matter. We're also working to protect the natural places and communities that make those journeys possible.
WATERFLY was born from a simple belief: exploring the world should feel effortless. The trails, forests, coastlines and cities we love deserve care, too.
Through long-term nonprofit partnerships, responsible business commitments and customer-powered giving, we're taking practical steps to contribute to a healthier planet. This page is where we share the work behind that promise.

From responsible infrastructure and gender equality to climate ambition, human rights, ocean circularity and youth-led innovation — our involvement continues to evolve.
The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals provide a shared global framework. Our conservation projects relate most directly to Life Below Water (14), Life on Land (15) and Partnerships for the Goals (17). We aim to keep turning commitment into measurable action.
We focus on projects with tangible actions and meaningful opportunities for our community to learn, follow and participate.

About American Hiking Society ↗Tilly is an adult female green sea turtle encountered while nesting at Tortuguero, Costa Rica, on October 1, 2026. STC attached a satellite transmitter after she finished nesting, making it possible to follow the location updates received by its researchers.
Our support spans NECC’s running team in the United States, young martial artists in China and a kindergarten fundraiser in Germany — connecting practical gear with community activities.
In 2026, WATERFLY donated 30 bags to The New England Center for Children (NECC) to support its running team and community activities.
