This expandable backpack somehow manages to fit an entire closet inside it… no, seriously.




Clearly, we’ve been looking at backpacks all wrong. Just 10 seconds into the video above, my sufficiently fancy laptop bag suddenly feels about as well-designed as a burlap sack. The way the Nest backpack by Tropicfeel behaves and unfolds, it rethinks bags completely. Instead of being a container to organize and store all your belongings, The Nest somehow lets you pack your life with you. Its individual compartments come apart, expand, and exist outside the bag, turning it into a detachable, modular, and expandable wardrobe/closet that unfolds when you unpack.

The Nest’s expanding design isn’t just about creatively using the space inside the bag, it’s also about creatively attaching modules onto the existing bag to give it more meaning. The Nest’s design is centered around 3 elements of living – Daily, Hobbies, and Adventure, and it comes with purpose-built accessories and add-ons that go with the bag’s design. At its very heart, the Nest is a 16L bag with all the frills you’d expect: storage for your laptop, compartments and pockets for your belongings and tech accessories, and an overall design that blends comfort with function and style. However, its relatively benign 16L design can expand by almost double, storing 30L when expanded. The base comes with a kangaroo pocket that’s perfect for storing bulky items you’d otherwise never put in your bag (shoes, for instance), and a spider net panel on the back provides even more storage, giving you extra room for extra belongings.

What transforms the Nest into a full-blown wardrobe are its cleverly designed add-on bags. The add-ons plug right into the Nest when you need to carry them around, but when you’re unpacking, they plug right out and become individual entities. The organizer ‘cube’ can be hung on hooks, expanding into a criss-cross of pockets to store your belongings, while the smart packing cube literally folds out into a slim makeshift wardrobe for all your organized belongings. In fact, the smart packing cube itself accounts for an extra 10L of storage – giving you dedicated soft ‘shelves’ for shirts, pants, undergarments, and other belongings. A hook on the top lets the smart packing cube be hung from anywhere too, like a mini vertical wardrobe. There’s a camera ‘cube’ too, specially designed to hold your camera and all its lenses and accessories. These cubes either go inside the bag, or attach onto them like modules, allowing you to store and carry more without really making the bag bulky or cluttered. On unpacking, they simply separate into their own elements, turning a seemingly small 16L bag into a veritable closet of all your belongings.

Another extremely clever design detail on the Nest is its ‘secret compartment’ which exists almost like a trapdoor inside the backpack. It stays flat when you don’t need it, but flips open into a sturdy compartment when you want to store something precious. This secret compartment is accessible through a concealed opening that’s literally impossible for thieves to access when you’re wearing the bag. The Nest is littered with other such functional details, like a sunglasses-holder, a special secret pocket for your smartphone, lateral straps to hold onto a tripod, metal clasps to hold everything together, and a pass-through panel to let you slide your backpack onto a wheeled suitcase.

The Nest comes from the folks at Tropicfeel, an innovation-driven team of 36 operating out of Barcelona responsible for creating two of the most funded outdoor shoes on Kickstarter in 2018 and 2019 respectively. The Nest is their sophomore bag, following the wildly successful Shell backpack, which raised over $2 million from nearly 8000 backers just last year. Building on the success of last year’s backpack design, the Nest is an everyday backpack that’s also purpose-built for your next adventure, and is designed to be more compact yet more accommodating. It comes in a single cabin-friendly 16L size that expands to 20L with the kangaroo pouch, while giving you an extra removable 10L storage thanks to the smart packing cube. Just the bag itself costs $128 on Kickstarter (or $200 retail) going up to $228 if you go for the backpack with all the accessories. Like every one of Tropicfeel’s products, it’s built to last, ships internationally, and comes backed by a robust lifetime warranty.

Tropicfeel’s new footwear is as comfortable as a sock, but as versatile as adventure shoes





Run on the roads, jog on the beaches, trek mountain terrain, or even take a dip in the sea, Tropicfeel’s Jungle Shoes should serve you well through all of those endeavors. Designed to quite literally be the ATVs of footwear, the Jungle are a pair of shoes that prioritize two things – the journey, and comfort. They fit around your foot as comfortably as a sock would, and are equipped with a 3D Dual Cushion sole that lets you feel like you’re walking on air… even if you’re scaling mountains. The high-grip outsole gives you remarkable traction, while a special anti-abrasive 3D Mesh fabric made from plastic bottles protects your feet from the elements. With the use of unique materials, and even a few specially located drainage holes, the Jungle shoes can be worn underwater too. Whether you’re wading through a river or just swimming on the beach, the shoes form an extension of your foot, giving you freedom of movement. Take them off and they dry easily too… because they were designed to.

If I had to entrust one company with creating the ultimate outdoor shoe, it would be Tropicfeel. A 26-person design company based out of Barcelona, Tropicfeel has created not one, but two of the most funded shoes on Kickstarter, setting their record in 2018, and then nearly matching it in 2019. With innovation practically woven into the company’s DNA, Tropicfeel developed the Jungle footwear as the latest evolution to their all-terrain footwear collection.

Outwardly, the Jungle sneakers embody simplicity, with a design that’s an urban classic of sorts. The shoes come in four color options with a quick-drying fabric body that fits as comfortably as a sock would. The fabric features an upside-down 3D mesh, designed in collaboration with Ariaprene. The fabric is optimized for abrasion-resistance and long-lasting build quality, while using 7 recycled plastic bottles in its construction (in an effort to eliminate ocean waste). The fabric body is then capped off with special Sprint Laces on top that allow you to easily secure your shoes firmly around your feet, and a revolutionary outsole at its base, giving you the slip-resistance you need, whether you’re on the tarmac, on tiles, or on terrain.

The innovation comes naturally to Tropicfeel, but so does focus on sustainability. Each pair of shoes recycles 14 bottles worth of ocean plastic, while even the soles contain 30% recycled EVA foam. By entirely skipping the traditional retail route and focusing on crowdfunding, Tropicfeel can design shoes to order, eliminating the need to store them in shops, pay hefty retail taxes, or warehouse costs across the globe. Moreover, the shoes are durable and built-to-last too. With a classic design and the ability to be worn everywhere (and a lightweight construction that makes them easy to pack), the Tropicfeel Jungle is all set to be the next pair of shoes you’ll never want to take off!

How Kickstarter provided the perfect launchpad for this innovative modern travel backpack

Small companies innovate, large companies acquire. That’s just a fundamental fact when it comes to any industry with big players. Zuckerberg’s only bit of innovation was Facebook. Every single Facebook company we see today – Instagram, Whatsapp, Oculus, etc, was a strategic acquisition. One could say the same with Google. Apart from search, almost every Google product existed independently before it was absorbed by the company. Small companies think big… Large companies just look at the bigger picture.

Innovation practically runs in the blood of Tropicfeel, a 26-person design company based out of Barcelona. Responsible for creating the world’s most funded shoe in 2018, and the second most funded shoe in 2019, Tropicfeel has more than proved that they’ve got the spirit to innovate, as a small, creative, sustainability-driven, and consumer-focused brand. After shipping more than 500,000 shoes to over 142 countries (that’s 75% of the world) in the past couple of years, Tropicfeel decided to shift their gaze to yet another product in the travel-domain that needed their Midas-touch… the modern travel backpack.

The truth is that the Shell backpack couldn’t possibly come from a larger company. The Kickstarter platform and a brand ethos of being radical, together coupled with Tropicfeel’s aggressively loyal and involved community, proved to be perfect ingredients for Tropicfeel’s next ambitious product. The Shell is a backpack that comes with a rugged weatherproof design, expandable storage space, modular elements, and a one-of-a-kind wardrobe system that allows you to store clothes in your bag like you would in a closet. It behaves like a backpack when you want to store work essentials, a rucksack when you’re outdoors, and a portable wardrobe when you’re traveling on holiday. A dedicated section just for your laptop, charger, and tech peripherals sits right against your back, keeping it protected from others yet accessible to you at all times. The bag’s exterior comes with a 6L kangaroo pouch that gives you an extra fold-out compartment of storage for items you want to keep separate from the rest of your bag (shoes, wet clothes, etc.), while a detachable pouch with Fidlock® fixtures lets you easily attach a separate pouch to your bag.

The Shell comes with 22L of storage space, along with an expanding design that increases internal storage to 40L. A variety of pockets on the inside, as well as the outside, let you segregate and organize your stuff, but nothing matches up to Shell’s wardrobe system – a removable module that turns the inside of your backpack into a makeshift closet. The wardrobe module fits right into your backpack and can be removed and hung on a rod or hook in a room. With multiple sections, the wardrobe system is quite literally a miniature closet for you to store your clothes in. Not only does it make packing (and unpacking) easier, it enables you to live out of your backpack, but with the comfort of having your own organized wardrobe at your fingertips. The wardrobe system allows you to store your clothes without crushing them, and comes with straps on the side that help you compress it to save space, before fitting it into the Shell’s interior compartment. The Shell backpack even offers additional modular bags including a dedicated toiletry bag, a tech pouch, and a padded camera bag with adjustable walls to store your expensive equipment and accessories.

Not only does the Shell balance all these features, it does so while sticking to Tropicfeel’s strict sustainability guidelines. The backpack’s fabric, while rugged, waterproof, and weatherproof, comes made from Bluesign-approved 100% recycled nylon on the outside, and a 64% recycled polyester lining on the inside. The idea of sustainability extends to the rest of the bag’s construction too, which promises to last MUCH longer than any conventional travel bag – the Shell even comes with a lifetime guarantee. Designed for both the unpredictable outdoors as well as the cyclical nature of daily life, the Shell backpack takes wearer comfort into consideration too, with an ergonomic foam back-panel to keep your spine supported, sternum straps to reduce the stress on your shoulders, and frontal adjustable bands that help lower or raise the backpack depending on the weight it’s carrying. The expandable design even gives you the freedom to decide how big or small you want your bag to be based on how much you’re carrying. At 40L, the Shell serves the purpose of a rucksack, perfect for treks, camping trips, and long holidays. Compress it to an intermediate 30L size and you get yourself a balance between storage and the ability to stow your bag in a flight cabin. However, if you just need the backpack to serve your basic needs, the 22L size is ideally compact for your daily commute, serving as the quintessential laptop bag… albeit with more than a few tricks up its sleeve, and a guarantee to be the last bag you’ll ever need to own!
