Hemp Backpacks
Hemp is the fiber that comes from the cannabis plant. Although most people equate cannabis with illegal drugs, the fibers from the plant are actually harmless and have a number of important uses. One of those uses is to make fabrics that have a longer lasting life, are much more durable, and can be used for many different purposes. Hemp clothing is just one example of its uses, and hemp backpacks are also a popular way to utilize this ultra tough material. For people in school, it’s difficult to tote book bags around that are not strong enough to carry a great deal of books and other materials. Hemp backpacks are extra durable and strong, and will hold up under a lot more weight than their traditionally made counterparts. In fact, because hemp is so strong, backpacks made of the material will last years longer. Additionally, buying hemp in any form is supporting the use of natural materials that are environmentally friendly.
Hemp backpacks can come in a rainbow of different colors. The naturally light tan material will can be dyed to match any color you choose, and most manufacturers only use all natural vegetable dyes. The styles of hemp backpacks vary from the usual over the shoulders style to messenger bags to satchels. They are stylish and don’t look much different from nylon book bags. While in many cases hemp backpacks might cost somewhat more, the usage you will receive from it will pay itself back many times over. Hemp lasts much longer than other materials because it is less likely to rip or tear. It is also waterproof, so the material will not be damaged if you happen to get rained on. Hemp backpacks are a great alternative to the usual every day backpacks, and help contribute to the cultivation of a useful and helpful plant that offers many great benefits.
