We spent months looking for a durable, natural material that could not just repel water but also would last for a lifetime of travel. Our journey brought us to Hemp Canvas, a plant-based textile with 4x the tear resistance of cotton! We sought to use only natural materials — lowering our reliance on synthetics that can take centuries to break down.
So How Strong is Hemp? Our material is strong enough for the slash of a sharp knife to leave almost no impact!
But we didn’t stop there. We also wanted our material to resist moisture for unexpected situations like getting caught in a downpour or accidentally spilling a drink.
So we built water resistance right into the fabric of the bag itself — by fusing a water-based PU coating underneath the hemp textile. We’re confident that it can handle whatever your adventures throw at you, keeping your valuables safe and dry!
Check out this test below to see how it holds up:
Early prototypes convinced us to add an expandable section. It gives you the flexibility of a slim and sleek bag for your light-duty daily carry with the option to expand when you need space for your favorite gadget.
Simply unzip the rear section of the bag to open up 22% more bag space. That’s just enough capacity to fit a full-size camera or a medium-sized reusable water bottle.
All you’ve got to do is unzip the back zipper:
There’s even enough space to fit a drone and the controller. Here’s a video of us packing a DJI Mavic Air 2:
We designed the Bould pack to be useful in any travel scenario. You can wear it as a crossbody pack, hip pack, or as a sling across your back. The subtle design complements all sorts of outfits without compromising comfort or functionality.
Great for all activities from travel, dog walking, hiking, photography, music festivals, and much more!
We also find the pack works great as a weekend bike cruiser bag. See it in action:
5 different-sized pockets make it easy to pack and find all the essentials for your next adventure. There’s also a hidden pocket in the back where you could store important valuables like a passport or wallet.
The bag’s interior is made from a lighter grade hemp textile with natural antibacterial qualities, making it a little more okay if you accidentally leave your lunch inside for a few days (Don’t try this though 😉).

We chose Hemp first for its durability, but additionally because of the powerful regenerative qualities it provides for our planet’s soil system. After harvest, this highly efficient plant resource leaves the soil in better condition than before, a quality that will become more necessary in our lifetime.
Ultimately, we see Hemp’s potential to replace petroleum-based gear with cleaner options that provide positive impacts. A shift to hemp-based travel gear would remove millions of tons of plastic from our waste stream, replacing them with products that can biodegrade at the end of their lifecycle, benefitting our Earth.
Stretching back thousands of years, hemp has an amazing history — as one of the first textiles used by humankind.
Its early uses ranged from the material of choice for clothing, sails for ships, and it was even used as the original canvas for the declaration of independence.
Did you know the origins of the word “canvas” are rooted in the word “cannabis?”
