Tom on designing the Packing Cube Backpack "I designed the Packing Cube Backpack as a result of customer requests from our forums; in fact, I think it's the first product we've made that was 100% inspired by customer feedback.

We took the prototype on our trip to Alaska and we used it every day: for grocery shopping, for organizing the trunk of the car, even for a day hike in Denali National Park. It's lightweight (only 9.2 oz / 260 grams), packs down to almost nothing, and yet, because of the Dyneema®/nylon ripstop fabric, tough as nails." —Tom |
