In 2019 it’s not enough that our favorite products work well in multiple environments. It’s not enough that they look good doing it. These days, it seems our gear should be as active in fighting for environmental issues as we are.
The new Mobius backpack from Canadian active lifestyle brand tentree embodies this approach to sustainable product design—each bag contains the equivalent of 31 water bottles worth of recycled plastic, among other sustainably sourced elements, earning it the (self proclaimed) most eco-progressive backpack in the world.
Originally launched via Kickstarter this past fall—with a campaign that raised over $270k USD—the Mobius pack (designed to appeal to both men and women equally) is a simple rolltop backpack for daily use around town and for casual outdoor activities too. It’s certainly on the less-tech side of the gear spectrum, but considering most of us spend the majority of our lives in urban environments (even tho we wish we were out hiking daily), we’re backing it.
