PROJECT 8020 WATERPROOF BACKPACK
$109
$149
Whatever your next adventure, we have designed the perfect roll-top backpack to hit the road with you.
100% WATERPROOF
If it comes to protecting your gear when mountain hiking, navigating river rapids, fishing, or surfing, you will be grateful to have our dry backpack at hand.
The 8020 is fully submersible and gives you peace of mind because your items are always protected.
DURABLE
Waterproofing is achieved by radio frequency (RF) welding, a process that melts the layers of material together. A technology normally used in boats, which we used for our backpack.
The proprietary material used is also scratch and tear resistant even at low temperatures.
SUSTAINABLE
Designed with sustainable materials obtained from recycled plastic bottles, it is at the same time extremely lightweight, durable, and flexible thanks to the special TPU coating.
VERSATILE
Its military-inspired minimal design, large inner pocket for laptop and accessories make it functional, suitable also for your daily urban activities, protecting your belongings in any weather conditions you may encounter.
Be among the first to get your hands on an 8020 by saving $40+ on retail price for a limited time.

Extremely Durable
We have developed a special material called AWPE 600™ (All Weather Performance Ecofabric).
The mix of materials we use is resistant and safe in any scenario – even the most extreme situations.
Excellent flexibility at low temperatures – may be doubled up at -55°C without causing cracks.
Outstanding hydrolysis resistance, abrasion resistance, oil resistance, and aging resistance.

Sustainable Materials
The body of the 8020 is made from RPET (recycled polyester), a material obtained from recycled plastic bottles, one of the most polluting products for the environment.
Every backpack is made recycling 25 plastic bottles.
Plastic bottles are turned into pellets and then into yarn and hyper-resistant fabric.
Additionally, the TPU coating of the backpack is biodegradable.

Utilitarian Design
The 8020 is inspired by military dry backpacks and features the signature Expedition / Units print that defines its technical features.
The 8020 was born in the sign of functional minimalism. It is named after the famous 80/20 Pareto principle, according to which 20% of efforts produce 80% of results.
Therefore, we aimed to include the bare minimum features that would ensure maximum functionality and versatility..

A Few Words From The Founder
Why did I launch the Expedition / Units and why should you want to be part of this world?
There are 3 main reasons:
- Creating gear with an innovative and highly functional design for the most demanding outdoor activities, but at the same time perfect for use in the city and in everyday life.
- Empowering the community of people who see life as an adventure, daily growth and discovery. Not shy to pursue their individual path in life, no matter how off-the-beaten-track.
This is for all the adventurers, explorers, travelers and digital nomads. - Reducing single-use plastic bottle pollution and bringing about real change in the world. By using recycled and environmentally sustainable materials and supporting the people who strive day after day to rid our planet of plastics and educate the younger generations to protect the environment.
If the above resonates with you, consider giving our products a try and becoming part of our collective journey.
