BPMP is a portable amplifier concept you can easily carry on your back

Posted on by

Music has different effects on different people, but the fact is that it always has some effect. At the very least, it can poke interest in the listener or admiration for the talented artist filling the air with notes. Despite how efficacious music can be, many will argue, especially parents, that it’s hard to make money from music, not unless you make it big in the industry. That said, there are people who make and perform music out of pure passion, though it definitely doesn’t hurt to get a few kind donations in the process. Street musicians and performers are not an uncommon sight in any country, and most of them have the same problem when it comes to carrying heavy equipment. Amplifiers, for example, are necessary yet so inconvenient, but this design envisions such a gear that can help make life easier for these “buskers.”

Designer: JiHoon Park

We’ve come a long way from the large boxes known as amplifiers that can only be moved using a cart. There are plenty of more portable solutions these days that can help musicians who perform in public to move from one spot to another more easily. Despite their significantly smaller sizes, though, these amps often still come in bulky boxes that you carry awkwardly with one hand, leaving you with only one other hand to carry everything else.

It would be more convenient if you could sling the amplifier on your back like a backpack, but its boxy design makes that next to impossible, if not painful. Thankfully, technology and manufacturing have reached a point where that is finally possible, at least in theory. BPMP, then, is a concept that tries to cram as much hardware inside a package that you can comfortably wear on your back. Even better, it’s not something you’d be ashamed to be seen with.

Instead of the typical box design, BPMP uses a flatter “squircle” or square circle shape with one side bulging slightly outward. The flat side is designed like a typical backpack, with shoulder straps and soft fabric material that cushions your back a bit. Unless you know better, you might mistake this as one of those hard shell backpacks that are gaining popularity in some quarters.

The reimagining of the portable amp doesn’t stop there, though. For example, there’s also a handle that swings down to become the amplifier’s adjustable stand. The top edge holds the knobs and sliders for controlling the audio equipment, just like what you’d find in a normal amplifier.

There’s no denying that, in addition to being very portable, BPMP looks quite attractive to the point that you might not even believe that it’s an amplifier. Then again, it might be questionable whether you can cram that much audio hardware and electronics to make it function as a proper amplifier, nor does it guarantee that the quality of audio output won’t be affected by this unconventional design. Still, it’s an avenue worth exploring, especially if it will get buskers more attention for their already captivating performance.

This wild 5-in-1 backpack lets you stack-and-zip different modules to increase its storage capacity

Posted on by

Building on their absolutely game-changing modular system from 2016, Wool & Oak’s Carry-On Backpack lets you carry anywhere from one laptop to an entire weekend’s worth of luggage on your shoulders. How, you ask?? Simply by letting you attach elements to the original backpack to expand its size and storage capacity!

Remember how in Power Rangers their mecha suits could function individually, but could also attach to each other to become an ultimate mecha fighter? Wool & Oak’s design is kind of like that. Individually, the Carry-On Backpack comprises 5 separate bags that can be used as standalone units, or better yet, they can be attached together to become one cohesive ‘superbag’ that straps across your shoulders.

Designer: Johnathan Webster

Each of the 5 bags has its own identity and uses. The Pro Backpack is your everyday laptop bag with enough storage for all your daily needs, including 19 different pockets (internal and external) for individual belongings and a separate area big enough for a 16” laptop. The Pro Backpack sits on your shoulders thanks to padded straps, and can even be carried horizontally like a briefcase… but its most impressive feature is its ability to let you strap on the Weekender Duffle to it.

The Pro Backpack

The Weekender Duffle

The Weekender Duffle is your closet-to-go providing you that much-needed extra space for all your clothes.

The Weekender Duffle is the largest of the 5 bags, with dual side access, multiple hidden pockets for storing precious belongings, and the ability to be used as a standalone duffle/backpack. However, if you want to just carry your Weekender Duffle and Pro Backpack together, you can carry them either as individual units (boring!) or zip them together to turn them into a larger backpack that has everything from your laptop to your clothes. The Pro Backpack and Weekender Duffle combine together to become greater than the sum of their parts, giving you a power-packed, spacious bag that lets you carry all your belongings right on your shoulders without needing to check them in at the airport.

Laptop Sleeve

Toiletry Kit

Sling

The other 3 bags revolve around these two, enhancing their features and abilities. There’s a slick laptop sleeve that lets you carry just the bare basics (it slides into the Pro Backpack too, should you choose. A dedicated toiletry kit lets you carry all your liquids, creams, pastes, toothbrushes, and floss (don’t forget to floss, folks) separately from your luggage. Slide it into the duffle, or if you’re just carrying your Pro Backpack, attach it to the front of the Pro to make it look like the backpack has its own mini backpack! The final bag is a sling-style fanny pack that lets you relive the glorious 2000s and carry items like sunglasses, your wallet, phone, etc. strapped across your waist or chest.

Dual Side Access

The one extra element that makes up the Carry-On kit is an add-on premium camera cube. The folks at Wool & Oak realized that camera-folk have a very specific set of needs that don’t get fulfilled by usual bags, which is why they designed the camera cube, an optional bag that comes in black, and can be used either individually, or snugly fitted into one half of the Weekender Duffle. The cube comes with a soft protective lining, and adjustable dividers to let you manipulate the internal space to fit your gear perfectly.

Together, all the bags make up Wool & Oak’s Carry-On, or the most modular, versatile, shoulder-mounted storage system ever made. Use the bags individually when you need, or strap them together and confidently walk into an airplane knowing well that you’re gaming the system by carrying an entire travel bag on your shoulders! That way, you can fit even more into your check-in or cabin luggage, giving you the best of all worlds!

Wool & Oak’s Carry-On marks their seventh product, following a string of 6 incredibly successful Kickstarter-led luggage designs. The entire kit comes made from premium leather, available in brown or black tanned options. You can grab the backpack or the duffle for $299 and $379 individually, or as a combined set for $599. The Sling-bag, Laptop Sleeve, Toiletry Kit, and Camera Cube are all available as separate add-ons, allowing you to build the carry-on solution of your dreams!

Massaging Backpack

Posted on by

Carrying a heavy backpack can cause your back to get a little sore. But what if I told you that by carrying an even heavier backpack than normal, you could alleviate some of that pain? Because if you add a massager to backpack that’s exactly what happens. The Back Massaging Backpack has a pair of built-in vibrating massagers at the shoulders and lower back to relieve any muscle ache. Look at this guy, does he look like he’s in pain? Not counting the pain of having to model for a backpack and pretend to be interested in some map on his phone that he forgot to charge before leaving the house instead of posing on the beach with bikini models, of course.

The backpack has a whopping 5,000 mAh battery to not only power the massagers but to charge your phone or other devices. Since it’s a backpack it can also hold stuff in the the compartment, like every other backpack ever made and ever will be made. And it goes on your back. It’s like a pack for your back. Hence the name. You can get five hours of massage off one battery charge, which sounds like a lot at once, maybe at that point go see a doctor or something. Anyway cool pack.

This trendy duffel backpack will be your ultimate travel partner

Posted on by

People have been enjoying traveling and going outdoors again to the point that “revenge travel” has become a trend. Whether you’re traveling out of town for a few days or simply packing for a trip to a sports complex, having a dependable bag is essential in making your trip free from stress and worry. Buying a bag can be an adventure in itself when you’re trying to pick one that can maximize storage without sacrificing usability and aesthetics. Often you have to sacrifice one or the other to reach an acceptable compromise. A good-looking bag that can meet all your travel needs might sound like fantasy, but that’s exactly the kind of experience promised by this durable duffle bag and backpack in one.

Different people have different travel needs. Actually, even the same person might have different needs and requirements depending on the type of travel their doing. There is really no one size that fits all, but there are designs that definitely come close to that ideal situation.

When traveling with sports equipment or clothes for a few days, duffle bags and backpacks are the go-to solutions. The Blackbriar Allround Duffle Backpack offers both in the same bag, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg of the flexibility that this travel essential has to offer.

For example, many travel-oriented bags have a dedicated pocket for shoes or dirty clothes. More often than not, however, you can’t use the same pocket for both purposes. Blackbriar’s solution is so genius in its simplicity that you’re left wondering why it isn’t more common. This duffel backpack has two such compartments on opposite ends of the bag, allowing you to store two pairs of shoes, shoes and dirty clothes, or just dirty clothes. That way, you don’t have to compromise on storage because your bag doesn’t offer you that flexibility.

You might think that having two such compartments can be a waste of space, but that’s hardly the case. The shoe pockets can fold neatly out of the way if you don’t need them, but they also have another function that you won’t see in other bags. Those pockets can become dividers to create sections inside the bag, thanks to a patented S-Partition design. Thanks to this unique feature, you no longer need to use a bag organizer that only takes up precious space inside.

The Blackbriar Allround Duffle Backpack also has all the bells and whistles you’d want from a travel bag. The three-tiered structure of its fabric not only protects it from water and scratches but also helps preserve its shape.

A magnetic main pocket makes it easy to open the bag, while zippers allow you to safeguard the contents inside when traveling under heavy conditions. Mesh pockets inside let you stash big and small objects, while a dedicated laptop pocket can be accessed both from the outside as well as from the inside.

With all these features and a flexible configuration, it might come as a shock that the Duffel Backpack comes with a $169 price tag only. Throw in another $10 add-on, and you’ll be able to grab the shoulder straps that can help distribute the weight of the load across your whole body. Whether it’s for short trips or long ones, the Blackbriar Allround Duffle Backpack offers the flexibility you need to adapt to your situation while also looking stylish along the way.

Traveling soon? This modular 40L travel backpack has individual storage solutions for every single item

Posted on by

It isn’t often that you see a backpack that has its own built-in laundry bag, or a backpack with dedicated, separate storage for your shoes as well as your laptop and charger, but the Tripper backpack isn’t the kind of backpack you see too often. After a two year hiatus, the world is slowly opening up to full-scale traveling again and the Tripper wants you to be as prepared as you can be.

Designers: Walden Wolf, Ronnie Lau & Rolphe Fu

Click Here to Buy Now: $129 $229 (56% off). Hurry, only 7/830 left!

Going above and beyond your average backpack design, the Tripper (as its name suggests) prepares you for extensive trips, whether they’re leisure trips, staycations, business excursions, holidays, or just impromptu getaways. The backpack’s 40-liter capacity provides about as much storage as you’d get from a duffle, although where it outperforms your duffle is in its sheer attention to detail and conscientious modularity. Sounds hyperbolic? Well, I assure you it isn’t.

One Bag for All – Equipped with four powerful modular packing tools, 25 pockets and more than 15 unique features.

The Tripper comes with dedicated storage for possibly any travel-carry you could conceive of. It has a large storage space for your clothes, accessible via a 180° opening flap and complete with harness straps on the inside that secure your clothes, preventing them from getting crushed. It even has its own removable IPX8 waterproof laundry bag inside, so your worn, soiled clothes can sit in a separate bag, away from your clean ones.

40L Capacity & 180 Degree Shell Opening – The zipper on the top opens directly 180 degrees, providing a large opening through which you can easily reach all your gear.

The Tripper also comes with its bespoke toiletries bag made from soft plastic, allowing it to be waterproof too so your shampoos and moisturizers won’t even think of leaking all over your clothes and tech.

Speaking of tech, the Tripper also arms you with a laptop sleeve that fits your laptop, tablet, and phone, securing your gadgets with a Fidlock locking system. Wondering where to stash your chargers? There are mesh pouches for all of them, with the ability to even stash a power bank on the inside and connect it to your phone using a USB port built into the backpack’s design… and that’s just the storage solutions on the inside of the Tripper bag.

On the outside, the Tripper comes with its own separately located ventilated shoe-bag in the base of the backpack, lined with an antibacterial fabric. The backpack is also equipped with quick-access RFID-blocking pouches for things like your wallet and passport, and even though the Tripper is built with a hydrophobic water-repelling fabric and waterproof YKK zippers, each bag also comes with its own rain cover that further shields it from the elements.

The elements, however, aren’t the only thing travelers and tourists worry about and Tripper is well aware of that too. While the RFID-blocking pouch gives you a certain degree of security, the Tripper also comes with its own anti-theft system in the form of a detaching shoulder strap that can then be wrapped around a secure object and locked in place, preventing anyone from picking up and taking off with your bag.

The Tripper Bag is also equipped with Okoban, a global lost-and-found database that allows other people to notify you if they find your lost bag… although I’d recommend just chucking an AirTag into the backpack for good measure.

Built-in Raincover – Pull out the backpack rain covers and happily protect your backpacks.

IPX8 Waterproof Laundry Bag – This bag is a great place to put wet or dirty items.

All in all, Tripper’s design does a pretty fine job of carefully considering all your travel needs and factoring them into the bag’s design. In a rush? The bag is equipped with a chest strap that takes the pressure off your shoulders, or alternatively, you can even hook both the shoulder straps together and turn them into a single strap, allowing you to carry your Tripper like a duffle bag.

Moreover, each Tripper also includes a small cross-shoulder sling bag for storing small items like your phone, spectacles, wallet, AirPods, etc. The sling bag can even be used independently on most days when you’re stepping out of the house to meet friends or run errands. Designed not just for all weathers but also for overall durability, each Tripper is manufactured to the highest standards with industry-leading YKK zippers and also a scratch-resistant fabric that can take everything life throws at you. The Tripper backpack starts at $99 for just the backpack itself without any of the trims. However, for just $20 more, you can grab the entire bundle which includes the backpack, laptop sleeve, sling bag, toiletries bag, and waterproof laundry bag.

Herman Miller hiking backpack is a comfortable, robust and premium adventure accessory

Posted on by

This Herman Miller hiking backpack is something outrightly unique thanks to its niche structure and the hues it comes in.

A mention of backpacks doesn’t raise any eyebrows until it is something extraordinary. Penning down this article is one of those instances where we are talking about an ergonomically comfortable backpack that’s not ordinary. This accessory draws inspiration from the Herman Miller camp for a highly comfortable fit that emulates the back shape. In fact, this one plays it safe and tries to replicate the winning design of the Cosm gaming chair.

Designer: Judar Design

The backpack has lightweight aesthetics, and the designer gives much of the focus on how the accessory can be a practical hiking backpack given the Herman Miller chair influence. This backpack is suited for city commuters who have to carry their laptop and other important stuff safely, as well as, hikers and campers who need a robust, waterproof rucksack to haul the load. The solid structure on the outside – just like the Cosm chair – provides protection from any accidental bumps when important breakable stuff is inside.

 

The featherweight hiking backpack has two main separate sections to keep your stuff organized. On the inside, there is a sleeve for laptops, tablets and more pockets to carry along smaller accessories. There’s a profound lumbar pad and ventilation system to keep things as comfortable as they can get. The hip belt reinforced with the solid structural material also provides able support when you are going out on extended adventure trips. The design is still in the concept stage and comes in peppy colors including – cool blue, pristine brown, light grey.
I don’t see any gear loops or water bottle holders which are a must-have in a hiking backpack. So, the designer could have added them for an all-around impressive backpack design. That said, the Herman Miller’s influence on this backpack’s design is something to cherish here.

Carryfly Travel Pack fits everything you need and matches your wardrobe, too

Posted on by

Switch from casual to chic and from pro photographer to travel bug with this backpack that can fit almost all needs and color styles.

Even the most pleasurable of trips can start out full of stress because of the preparations involved, especially when it comes to packing. It is extremely difficult to find a single travel bag that will work with all kinds of travel, not to mention one that won’t clash with your style on any given day. Most bags change form or parts to accommodate the changing needs of travelers, but the decision-making only adds to the stress of travel prep. That’s the kind of stress that this traveler’s bag tries to chase away, with its plethora of compartments to accommodate everything you’ll need on your journey. Plus, it can change its face to match the color of your mood or wardrobe theme.

Designer: Carryfly Design

Click Here to Buy Now: $199 $350 ($151 off). Hurry, only 2/3 left!

It’s too easy to take for granted what a little splash of color can do. With a single look, it can express one’s mood or taste more effectively than multiple words. Most bags limit you to the style and color that you chose when you bought them, practically forcing you to buy different bags for different looks. The Carryfly Travel Backpack’s changeable leather front faces let you switch colors easily, even on the fly, letting you match your day’s color scheme. Of course, that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg because this travel bag’s real power comes from both within and on the outside.

The 50-liter Carryfly Travel Backpack has a place for almost anything you need to bring with you. A compartment for a laptop is common fare these days, but how about a dedicated front compartment for notebooks, pens, and other stationery tools? There’s also a bottle pocket that conveniently zips out of the way when not in use. The backpack has plenty of hidden pockets, especially on the back, for stuff you need to keep out of and out of the hands of sneaky thieves. And to protect the main contents of your bag, there’s a password-protected lack on top similar to the ones you’d see on suitcases.

The travel pack isn’t exactly modular, but it can change its internal configuration to meet your needs. It has a shoe compartment for when you need more than just the ones on your feet. If, however, you don’t need to bring another pair, you can use that space for clothes or for a camera. Alternatively, you can also fit the EDC pouch to keep your favorite tools safe when not in use. Whether you’re packing for a long trip or just a short photography excursion, the Carryfly will be ready to fly with you, carrying all that you need.

Of course, the backpack is made from durable materials, including anti-scratch and water-resistant 1680D Oxford material, as well as durable YKK zippers. But if you think that you’d be carrying a tank, you’d be surprised at how comfortable it will feel on your back. In addition to ergonomic cushions, the design of the backpack’s back also facilitates good airflow to help keep your own back cool. Microfiber leather, especially with on the changeable covers, also give the travel bag a more premium look compared to other rugged bags you’d find on the market.

Whatever your travel needs and style, the Carryfly Travel Pack has all the compartments and pockets you need to fit your stuff. You can get the Carryfly Backpack V1 alone for $199 on Kickstarter if you’re fast enough to grab that Super Early deal. Shutterbugs, however, might want to reach for the Super Saver deal that includes the Backpack, the Camera Bag, and an EDC Pouch, all for only $289.

This DSLR-inspired hardshell backpack packs a portable power station that can charge your E-bike

Posted on by

For people who want to live off the grid, Hikerpower actually lets you carry your personal grid along with you.

From afar, the Hikerpower distinctly looks like two things. Firstly, you’d probably think that it’s a backpack, given how it straps to your back for the sake of portability. Look closer and that shape will instantly feel familiar. It kind of looks like a DSLR’s body without the lens! With an aesthetic that’s sure to grab your eye and pique your curiosity, the Hikerpower isn’t, in fact, a traditional backpack OR a DSLR. It’s actually a portable power station that packs a whopping 600Wh battery on the inside that’s capable of outputting 1000W of power. Perfect for outdoor treks, camping, or even using on your lawn, Hikerpower gives you your own personal battery pack that you can use to charge anything from your smartphone to your e-bike. Got stuff you need to carry? Well, the Hikerpower does (technically) function as a backpack too, allowing you to carry food, water, clothing, drones, cameras, and more.

Designer: Tony Lei

Click Here to Buy Now: $699 $1199 (41% off). Hurry, for a limited time only.

Let’s face it… it’s 2022 and that portable power bank doesn’t quite cut it anymore. Our battery needs have evolved well beyond just smartphones, which explains why companies like Ford are literally letting your EV power your house in the event of an outage. The Hikerpower is pretty much like that, sans the actual EV. Designed to be the first battery pack that you can actually wear, Hikerpower gives you energy independence or what its makers like to call the third Industrial Revolution of the Power Station (the first being the grid, and the second being backup power). It weighs a manageable 18 lbs or 8.2 kilograms (that’s roughly how much the average rucksack would weigh), and packs its own 600Wh battery inside the bag’s rugged, hardshell case.

The Hikerpower can provide 600Wh and 1000W of stable and sufficient power support.

The battery inside Hikerpower can be accessed in a multitude of ways. Flip open its upper flap (which has a built-in LED lamp) and you hit Hikerpower’s mother lode of ports, featuring AC and DC sockets, a cigarette lighter socket (like the one found in cars), 3 USB-A ports, one USB-C port, and a working LCD display that lets you know how much power you’ve got left. To charge the Hikerpower, it comes with an input that either lets you hook it up to an AC power supply, or to solar panels, effectively letting you use renewable energy while outdoors.

While the most obvious use-case for something like this is outdoor camping, the concept of energy independence goes far beyond just simply living outdoors. Hikerpower can be used by photographers and drone enthusiasts too, or by long-distance travelers who want to be able to charge their e-bike or scooter to expand their range. Moreover, the backpack is just as effective in domestic settings, letting you use items like a leafblower, an electric grill, or even a projector in your backyard without worrying about being near a power socket. The power management system within the backpack allows it to output a max of 2000W, comfortably taking care of practically any power needs you may have while outdoors.

In case of heavy rain, snow, or if you need to wade through water, just pull out the hidden 3D waterproof cover inside the bag and put it on, totally protecting your Hikerpower.

Speaking however, of outdoors, the Hikerpower still prioritizes the outdoor lifestyle. It comes with storage that’s large enough for a few clothes, gadgets, and food, and the backpack’s unusual design also has a concavity on its exterior that functions as a D-hook hanger, letting you suspend tents, sleeping bags, yoga mats, or rolled up solar panels to the bag. Even though it’s more of a portable power station than backpack, it still prioritizes ergonomics, with wide shoulder straps that distribute the weight evenly, lumbar support for your spine, and a mesh-lined back to promote breathability.

The backpack also comes with safety lights (especially useful while riding a two-wheeler) that glow in red, yellow, blue, and green, and even let you activate 3 flashing patterns that serve different purposes from alerting other riders to even functioning as an SOS distress signal. The safety lights are accompanied by a cool LED light panel on the top that flips open, letting you adjust its angle as well as its brightness, making it a perfect ambient outdoor lamp for illuminating your tent or reading.

Designed clearly for the outdoors, the Hikerpower comes equipped to deal with any unforeseen problems. The Lithium Iron Phosphate battery cells inside the bag are packed inside an aluminum enclosure that dissipates heat as well as protects the batteries from damage. The power station’s battery management system also takes care of any charging issues with features like short circuit protection, surge protection, overheating, overload, or overvoltage protection, while the backpack itself boasts of an operating temperature range of 14°F to 113°F. To bare the outdoor elements, the backpack even comes with its own waterproof raincoat that slides right around it, creating a protective shield that works in both heavy rain or snow. The Hikerpower comes in two colors for now (Tiger Orange or Camo Black) with a 41% discounted price tag of $699 that also includes a Kickstarter special 2-year warranty on your portable power station.

Adaptable Onli Travel Revolution Modular Bag System – Helps Relieve the Stress of Travel

Posted on by

Never lose your cool again while traveling with this flexible bag system, which lets you be the boss of your stuff, not the other way around! It’s a modular 3-part bag that adapts on the fly to the challenges travel throws at you.

Even the most relaxing vacation travel can get stressful hours or even days before leaving, all because of having to prepare for spending time away from the comforts of home. In addition to trying to figure out how much or how little to bring, travelers also have to take into account the kind of bag to use for the trip. Whether it’s a long vacation out of town or a simple trip back home for Thanksgiving, people tend to carry different bags for different occasions. And that’s not even considering the traveling you’ll be doing around your destination. If you find yourself pulling your hair out over all these considerations, then you might want to consider getting this three-part modular four-wheel spinner/backpack system, which covers all your travel bag needs, whether you need a larger suitcase to roll around or a slim backpack to carry for shorter trips or around town.

Designers: Dave Logan and Kyle Logan

We need a suitcase when traveling for more than a few days, but we often also need a smaller bag for shorter trips during that period. Sometimes, however, we just need a weekender to get us through a couple of days away, plus a laptop bag to work at a cafe or even at a park. The most obvious solution to this would be to have a bag for each of those cases, but that only multiplies your problems rather than reduces them. What if you had, instead, a single bag that catered to all those needs? Or better yet, what if you had a set of bags that functioned as a whole or separately, depending on what you needed?

Building on its successful initial product in 2019, Onli Travel is now bringing forth its new Revolution Rolling Pack to deliver that solution. Just like its predecessor, the system is composed of three modular bags that you can combine together in different ways or use apart as the case warrants. All three together make up a large suitcase that you can roll or carry as a backpack, but the front Messenger Tote Pack and the rear Expandable Daypack can also be detached and used separately or combined and expanded into a larger Weekender backpack for shorter periods of time away from home.

Those aren’t the only features this system has, of course. A notable upgrade is the change from a two-wheel roller-board to a four-wheel “spinner,” making it effortless to pull or push the luggage in any direction (including sideways down airplane aisles). When space constraints require it, you can easily collapse the telescopic handle and throw the luggage on your back as well, as it also works as a travel backpack.

If there’s not enough space on the airplane, you can take the modules apart so that they can fit in tighter spaces in the overhead. (The front unit has even been designed to strap to the tray on the seat in front of you, converting to an in-flight workstation to make your time in the middle seat tolerable!) And, of course, there’s an array of perfectly thought out pockets and compartments to help you ergonomically organize anything and everything you need for quick access while you travel.

Left: Messenger Tote Pack. Right: Expandable Daypack.

Each part of the Travel Revolution system is specially designed for different travel scenarios or to solve problems encountered while traveling. The four-wheel Expandable Spinner, for example, can expand to accommodate more stuff if you buy things on your trip and has side pockets to stash an umbrella or water bottle; the Expandable Daypack opens flat for easier inspection at security checkpoints and allows you to access contents easily like a suitcase; And the Messenger Tote Pack can be worn as a tote, messenger bag, or backpack, and has room for both a 17-inch laptop and a tablet. With the Onli Travel Revolution, you finally have a bag that adapts to fit your travel needs and reduces the stress of travel.

Even the Onli 8-cube packing cube system helps – in addition to anticipating what you need to bring, Onli designed it to perfectly fit the bag and utilize the space, so you don’t have to worry about whether it will fit!

According to Onli Travel, the future of luggage is modular. After looking at this design, let the modular revolution begin!

Designer: Vaude

Dubbed Novum 3D, Vaude’s outdoor backpack features a honeycomb construction that ensures maximum stability while keeping the materials needed for production to a minimum. Each component of the backpack, from the straps to packsack and even the honeycomb back pads is 3D printed from 100% thermoplastic material (TPU). Each component of the Novum 3D is also fully removable and recyclable, taking a big step towards a circular economy.

Sustainability remains at the forefront of Vaude’s design principles. As the designers note on their website, “Ideally, a product should be returned completely back to the production process at the end of its life cycle. This is true recycling, but it is still a big challenge for the textile industry at the moment. Many products consist of at least 5 to 10 different materials or mixed fabrics and therefore cannot be separated by type. For this to succeed, the entire product life cycle must be considered and redeveloped.”

While some might assume that sustainable design isn’t necessarily a comfortable design, Vaude’s integration of 3D printing ensures both. Looking no further than nature to define the backpack’s comfort, Vaude notes, “Innovative 3D printing technology creates an extremely lightweight suspension system. The honeycomb construction is one of the most stable forms in nature. This type of construction offers us the highest stability with the least amount of material. The lightweight, open structure also automatically provides ideal ventilation. At the same time, different degrees of hardness ensures ideal pressure distribution.”
