At a $120, these backpacks won’t be for everyone but I think the concept is great and hopefully the price will come down in the future.
Keen Harvest III Backpack
Crafted from repurposed and recycled items, this backpack is made from pre-consumer airbags that are locally harvested and upcycled into this one-of-a-kind backpack. The body fabric is water-resistant and the interior pocket keeps things organized. KEEN's Harvest III bag collection is built in the USA.
