We partnered with Truce Designs to create a one-a-kind Drop-Liner Backpack built from Slingshot prototype kites and wings.
Each SDL Backpack is handcrafted in Portland, Oregon from Slingshot prototype kites and wings, giving high-performance materials a second life as a durable, everyday carry.
These are the same materials engineered to handle wind, water, and impact, now reworked into a rugged, minimalist backpack designed for everyday use.
Each bag is individually sewn by hand in Portland, using reclaimed materials that would otherwise be discarded. That means every backpack is unique, with its own stitching lines, textures, and character.
