Let me introduce… The Polar Explorer Backpack!

This is the first waterproof, hemp backpack. In collaboration with 8000 Kicks we have developed the finest and most durable industrial hemp textile to make this backpack a true companion on all of you adventures. Hemp is a natural fibre that grows with little water and no fertilisers and offers waterproof and highly resistant properties.

Your next backpack comes with multiple functionalities such as a laptop and book compartment, a USB charging sleeve, pen holders, ergonomic back support, adjustable chest straps and hidden pockets.

Most importantly, as for all Arcticus products this backpack also gives back to the Arctic environment. For every backpack, you will receive a certificate of adoption by Arcticus, to commemorate the donation to polar bears conservation that results from your backpack.

FAQs

Hemp is a type of fabric derived from the stem of Cannabis sativa L, a cannabis species that produces a sturdy and resilient material. Compared to other plant stem fabrics, such as linen, jute, flax, and bamboo, hemp is particularly durable and long-lasting.

As a completely natural and biodegradable material, hemp is an excellent eco-friendly alternative to non-biodegradable synthetic fibers. In fact, hemp is widely considered to be the more sustainable option for large-scale production compared to cotton. It requires minimal water to grow and is a high-yield crop, producing more fibers per area than other plants.

Additionally, hemp can thrive in less fertile soil, freeing up more nutrient-rich ground for other crops. According to a 2020 study, 1 hectare of hemp can yield the same amount of fabric as 2 to 3 hectares of cotton, while using significantly less water.

The backpack features two layers of waterproof protection:

1. A coating that repels liquids and dis from coming in

2. A membrane that keeps water out no mater what.

With this your backpacks is more the ready to tae heaven rain showers and splashes of liquids, but of course I cannot be submerged underwater.
