With a history dating back to 1908, Bergans of Norway has claimed many innovations over their incredible history (including the first external frame backpack). With an invite from our friend @backpackdesigner , Head of Design and Development Equipment, we just had to come check out the Bergan’s HQ just outside of Oslo, Norway. We met with the design team in their state of the art design lab, browsed through their incredible archive of 100+ year old products, and even got to design a backpack using virtual reality goggles and software. Plus, the talented Lasse whipped up a custom GORE-TEX cover for Taylor’s orthopedic boot to take up to the frozen Longyearbyen, Svalbard. Stay tuned for a whole lot more exciting stuff we’ve got in the works with Bergans in the near future.

![The Worlds First (Really) Circular Backpack? The Freitag Mono
Weve seen circular bags before with Bergans Future Labs (https://bit.ly/3QObG9o) but never anything that was completely market-ready. Until now…
The Freitag Mono [PA6] Backpack is the first backpack built from only one material: PA6. Better known as nylon. The entire backpack from the fabric to the hardware to the zippers are made from PA6, creating an unparalleled ability for circular use and reuse. Use it, have it repaired, use it some more, and at the end of its life, send it back to Freitag to be completely broken down into brand new textiles for brand new bags.
Bravo, Freitag!
