Spring Forward: Protecting Your Tech During Field Trips and Outdoor Adventures

Spring is just around the corner, and for schools, that means gearing up for field trips, outdoor learning activities, and spring break travel. Whether students are exploring nature preserves, heading to historical sites, or simply taking the classroom outside, one thing remains constant—tech devices are along for the ride.

Tablets, Chromebooks, and laptops have become essential tools in education, but they’re also vulnerable to the elements. Rain, dirt, accidental drops, and spills can turn an exciting learning experience into a costly tech replacement. That’s where Higher Ground Gear comes in, offering rugged, school-approved protection to keep devices safe no matter where learning takes place.

The Right Fabric for the Right Protection

When it comes to device cases, not all materials are created equal. Higher Ground offers two distinct options, each with its own benefits depending on your school’s needs.

CleanShell® Fabric: Built for the Toughest Conditions

Schools seeking maximum durability and low maintenance choose CleanShell®.

  • Made from laminated polyester, the same material found in premium outdoor and military gear.
  • Stain-resistant and easy to wipe clean, ensuring cases stay looking new even after heavy use.
  • More durable than traditional hydrophobic treatments, providing long-lasting protection without the need for reapplications.

Perfect for schools with active outdoor learning programs or frequent off-campus trips, CleanShell cases keep student devices protected from mud, spills, and whatever else nature throws their way.

Traditional Fabric: Classic Protection with Water Resistance

Certain designs require a softer, more classic fabric while still maintaining durability and protection.

  • Mill-woven polyester mélange provides a durable yet lightweight structure.
  • Hydrophobic treatment similar to Scotchguard™ repels dirt and water.  (PFAS free)
  • Great for everyday classroom use, offering a balance of comfort and protection.
