5 Gyres Packable Backpack

The favorite Packable Backpack, sponsored by The 5 Gyres Institute. Dedicated to empowering action against the global health crisis of plastic pollution through science, education and adventure. The accumulation zones of plastics in the oceans, called gyres, are a result of the vortex of winds and currents occurring at latitude synonymous with continental deserts. Plastic is trapped within these currents, taking at least 10 years to cycle back out – if it doesn’t get consumed by marine life or sink to the bottom resulting in trillions of microplastic particles filing up our oceans.This essential, go-anywhere Packable Backpack is your easy to carry and store option for all types of adventure. Perfect for travelers who need a durable pack for unexpected day trips, as well as for those that anticipate needing a little extra room for souvenirs on their way home. Powered by Protx2® anti-microbial treatment, this pack breaks down super small and is easy to stash in any travel bag This pack
