Battlepack 16L
- In stock
Datsusara fans, and more importantly, our founders daughter, asked for a compact backpack for kids. Others wanted an ultra-compact high speed option for carrying small loads without sacrificing organization. Thus the Battlepack 16L was born. It's the right size to handle everything a kid might need to carry for school or larger human's gear on short adventures. It also has a padded laptop pocket that fits most 15" models.
This backpack stands out from the cheap synthetic, toxic backpacks, as it's made with our signature hemp blend fabric: Naturally durable, breathable, and antimicrobial—safe for you and the environment.

Care
Bag Care: You will likely never need to wash your Datsusara bag as hemp stays naturally clean due to it's antimicrobial and breathing properties. In case you do we recommend you only hand wash in cold water (cold water prevents material shrinkage) and line dry. It is possible to machine wash the bags but it's tricky and we cannot warranty against damage from machine washing. As for the "Nasty bags" (which are synthetic) we recommend washing them however you like but line dry.
Apparel Care: For apparel you can wash however you want. But don't use any bleach as it weakens the hemp, and do keep in mind the hotter the water and dryer setting the more things will shrink.
For new gis we strongly recommend machine washing at least 2-3 times to prevent shedding of the material which occurs naturally with our 100% hemp gis.
