About D_b_

Db makes backpacks, luggage and sport bags, designed in Scandinavia. The story starts in 2009 in Hoddevik, Norway, where engineering student Truls Brataas met Swedish freeskier Jon Olsson. Both were unimpressed by the options for carrying surfboards, snowboards and skis. In 2012 they launched with a roller ski bag that adjusted to the length of the skis, then asked Olsson's YouTube audience to name the company. The audience chose Douchebags, and the name stuck until the Oslo office shortened it to Db. The range includes the Ramverk luggage line, surf luggage for up to three boards, and the Weigh Lighter backpack and helmet bag, built to keep weight down.
