TESTIMONIALS
“I have always been looking for backpack that can haul all the gear that we take with us during our medical trips. We carry everything from medical supplies, photography equipment to solar lanterns and water filters. Our organization, The Black 6 Project is a veteran led nonprofit that conducts humanitarian aid and disaster relief missions around the world. During our most recent trip to the northern highlands of Benguet, Philippines we got to test out Backpack For Life’s flagship backpack. In my backpack I carried 30 solar lanterns, 7 Sawyer water filters, 2 large boxes of chocolates to give to kids, a rain jacket, a point and shoot camera, and a few maps. The trek to the villages weren’t far from where we’d park our vehicles. The backpack was a true gear hauler. My cargo weighed in about 30 pounds. All the supplies fit easily as I chaotically dumped all the supplies through its large top opening. The fabric handled the rain well as the water beaded off. The fabric also stood strong against sharp rocks and jagged edges as we had to hand the bag up to other team members while climbing up shear cliffs. The Bowery Pack will increase our capacity and ability to bring in more supplies to remote areas. I have faith that its durable materials will protect the supplies inside. Its cargo size will also allow us to sustain ourselves should we need to stay in those areas for extended periods.””
“The first time that I traveled with the Bowery Pack was on a ski trip to Squaw Valley, near Lake Tahoe in California. I didn’t have a proper ski bag and needed something that was carry-on approved. This backpack truly surprised me with how much I was able to fit inside. It housed my ski boots, my entire ski wardrobe (snow pants, jacket, layers, etc..,) and even a few books! The drawstring located at the top of the bag that helps to close it is one of my favorite features because it allowed me to fill the bag and compress my belongings with one easy pull. In addition, the lid that drapes over the drawstring closing mechanism ensured that everything was secure.”
