Gomatic (Nomatic in North America) luggage and bags

Gomatic, known as Nomatic in North America, is a premium travel gear brand founded by cousins Jon Richards and Jacob Durham. The brand gained significant traction through crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter, where its innovative approach to functional backpack design and high-quality materials resonated with modern travelers and digital nomads.

The brand underwent a specific naming transition for European and international markets, adopting the name Gomatic to avoid trademark conflicts while maintaining the same product standards and designs as its sister label Nomatic. Their products are characterized by water-resistant materials, organization-focused interiors, and durable hardware tailored for both minimalist travel and professional photography.

Manufacturing for Gomatic products is primarily centralized in Southeast Asia, specifically in Vietnam and the Philippines, where the company works with specialized soft-goods manufacturers. The brand remains privately owned by its original founders, maintaining its headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
