Hi Guys,
I am Bernardo, the CEO and maker of 8000Kicks!
Our new hemp backpacks are made with Super strong hemp fiber π², 100% Vegan and carbon neutral, waterproof, 5x stronger than cotton πͺ, 18L expandable up to 30L π§³, and embedded USB plug π.
We first started 8000Kicks with one vision in mind, to build the coolest gear, with eco-friendly vegan materials, super resistant, weatherproof while still making it accessible to everyone. We wanted to outperform all the other gear in every category, and that is exactly what we have done.
So why Cannabis?
8000Kicks backpacks are not for smoking, and if you do it, you will not get high. Hemp is actually the βsober cousinβ of marijuana. It has a minimal amount of psychoactive components, and for that reason it is legal everywhere in the world, China, Singapore, Saudi Arabia etc. Hemp has a very long history of being used as a fiber, in fact, it has been cultivated by George Washington himself to produce ropes sails and others. Cannabis is so strong Henry Ford once built a car with it. But the fiber is also ecological as it consumes 5x less water than cotton, needs no fertilizers to grow, and restores the nutrients in the soil.
Waterproof
For over 2 years the 8000Kicks team has been working on this bag and its waterproofing features. The outer hemp layer has been coated with a proprietary organic wax that protects the fabric from stains, liquids and dust particles. On the hemp inner side, just below the fabric thereβs a waterproof membrane that guarantees maximum protection and that no liquids will come in. The zippers are also top quality and with 1-year waterproof warranty.
Flexible Storage from 18L to 30L
The 8000kicks everyday backpack ranges from a stylish discrete 18L workweek format to a full-size 30L sizing for a weekend trip. All these thanks to the foldable top and the wide room inside.
Moreover, thereβs one pocket at the front to stash reasonably large items like a charger, a pencil case, a phone or headphones. On the back, there's an anti-theft hidden compartment for what you canβt lose. On the backpack sides thereβs also a two side pockets as well as an external USB port.
You might be asking why 8000 in 8000Kicks? That's because hemp appeared 8000 years ago in Asia and we plan to bring it back.
Help us MAKE HEMP GREAT AGAIN!
